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. Obama | (Romney) BALLOT [PDF] |

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 |

| Voting Eligible Population*: 470,754. VEP Highest Office Turnout Rate: 66.3. Registered Voters: 444,077. ("This number is inflated due to statutorily mandated delay in removing names of persons who have moved to another voting district, but who have not notified the clerk in writing of the change.") Vermont recognizes the Democratic, Progressive, and Republican parties as major parties and the Constitution, Green, Libertarian, and Liberty Union parties as minor parties. |

2004
Overview After the excitement of Howard Dean's bid for the Democratic nomination, the general election presidential race was a low key affair. The Kerry-Edwards ticket easily carried the state, securing a plurality of 62,887 votes. Kerry won 13 of 14 counties; Bush prevailed only in sparsely populated Essex County in the northeast corner of the state. General Election Details |

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.
