While thousands of Vermonters anxiously wait for official word, a small crew in
the secretary of state’s office is adding up the totals from this week’s
Democratic gubernatorial primary.
Governor
Jim Douglas says he won’t be surprised if the "unofficial" vote total in the
Democratic gubernatorial race changes after the Secretary of State’s office has
conducted its own tally of the votes. Douglas served as Secretary of State for 6 terms.
The primary campaign has been extraordinary in many respects, from the number
of candidates, to the amount of money they raised and spent. And
now the outcome is so close that almost no one wants to say for sure who won.
Wednesday on Vermont Edition, we examine the results of voting in the Democratic, Republican and
Progressive primaries. We also talk with the leaders of the Democratic
race for governor.
Vermonters
are making their choices in the primary election today. They’re faced with a long list of names on both the
Democratic and Republican ballots.
Voters will be heading to the
polls today to vote in Vermont’s
primary election. Officials have no estimate for
the expected turnout in the election because there are a number of variables.
