  1. It’s possible that Zuckerman didn’t win the Progressive primary as a write-in, which would change the possibilities for what party label he could use

  2. Okay, those totals look better for Zuckerman’s chances of surpassing Ericson, even considering there’s a small cluster of Phil Scott write-ins (which might be in the low 30s but I’d need to put the write-in vote list in Excel to add it up)

    I’m also guessing that the normal standard for being nominated as a write-in still applies for the candidates who didn’t beat a candidate on the ballot. Since the standard is “write-in votes equaling half of the votes required on a petition” and there’s no actual petitions this year

  3. Zuckerman’s surpassed Ericson by 7 votes. 20 write-ins left to count, unless there’s some shenanigans he should have both labels secured.
