I earlier blogged about the close Vermont Democratic gubernatorial primary here and here. Now the question is whether there will be a recount, as asked here by the Times Argus. The current AP totals are:
Peter Shumlin 18,192 25%
Doug Racine 18,000 25%
Deb Markowitz 17,503 24%
Matt Dunne 15,242 21%
Susan Bartlett 3,774 5%
I hope someone like Nate Silver at 538 will take the time to do a statistical analysis to determine the likelihood of a new leader if their is a recount. The expectation is that the VT Sec of State will announce official totals next week, and canadidates have 10 days from election day to request a recount.
