It doesn't help much with totals, but unofficial early totals from The Montreal Gazette give Sanders 4,045, Paquette 4,023, and said Richard Bove and Joseph McGrath received about 1,200 votes between them. [Link]

Will try and find more info.

Not sure if the final totals here are correct. Looks like from the City of Burlington's official election register, the results are Bernie 4,030, Paquette 4,020, Richard Bove 1,091 and Joe McGrath 139. [Link]

Hikikomori Blitzkrieg!: There's an alternate timeline wherein write-in candidate Gordon Paquette didn't lose to Bernie by ten votes, became the mayor, and went on to be a major figure in American domestic politics.

He wasn’t a write-in, he was the incumbent who lost.
