Overview:
In
terms of presidential politics, Sen. Sanders'
presidential primary campaign (+)
provided the excitement; for the general election
Vermont's three electoral votes were solidly in the
Democratic column. Biden-Harris won with a
plurality of 130,116 votes (35.08 percentage points),
carrying 12 of 13 counties; Trump carried Essex Co. in
the Northeast corner. As the state was not
competitive, some activists turned their attention to
neighboring New Hampshire, a battleground state.

Overview:
After the excitement of Sen. Bernie Sander's
(I) campaign for the Democratic nomination, Vermont
saw little activity in the general election, the
main focus being exporting volunteers to neighboring
New Hampshire. Clinton/Kaine won with a plurality of 83,204 votes (26.41 percentage points). More than ten times as many write in votes were cast on the presidential line as in 2012; most of these, a Vermont record 18,183 according to Ballot Access News, were cast for Sen. Bernie Sanders. Libertarians Gary Johnson and Bill Weld did a rally in Burlington on Aug. 24, and Green Party nominee Jill Stein spoke at the Vermont Law School in South Royalton on Sept. 13.

2012 Overview Vermont remained solidly in the blue column, as Obama-Biden amassed a plurality of 106,541 votes (35.60 percentage points), carrying every county. Apart from volunteers heading over to neighboring New Hampshire, the state saw little of the presidential campaign. Mitt Romney was the only principal to visit, but Vermonters didn't see him: he did debate prep at the estate of former Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey in West Windsor on Sept. 4-6.

2008
Overview Obama-Biden ticket tallied a plurality of 120,288 votes (37.17 percentage points), carrying all 14 counties. (Vermont achieved some noteriety in March 2008 when voters in Brattleboro and Marlboro approved measures to arrest President Bush and Vice President Cheney, and it also ended up as the only state that President Bush did not visit). There were no visits by the major party candidates in the Fall. Obama/Allies | McCain/Allies | Nader |

2000 Overview Vermont was a safe state for Gore, and the Gore-Lieberman ticket carried it with a plurality of 29,247 votes (9.93 percentage points) over Bush-Cheney. Gore won in 10 counties; Bush carried 4. Ralph Nader achieved one of his best showings nationwide, gaining 6.92% of the vote. While the presidential race did not draw much resources or attention; the governor's race was hotly contested, and the issue of gay civil unions continued to color the landscape as it contributed to a dramatic shift in the state House of Representatives.
