  1. so a republican governor with a progressive lieutenant governor, that’ll be interesting.

  2. Vermont is also reporting write-in votes, and Bernie Sanders appears to have polled the vast majority of the 21,000+ write-in votes cast there.

  3. I hope he will be an alternative to the right ward shift.And continue the progressive agenda.

  4. Vermont Progressive Party also elected 2 state senators (+-0) and 7 state representatives (+1). All 9 where elected as P/D.
