| Description | State election officials began tabulating primary election results from across the state Thursday, a process many Vermonters hope will settle which of the five Democratic gubernatorial candidates won the primary and the chance to be the party’s nominee in the November election.
Unofficial vote tallies by news organizations showed Peter Shumlin leading Doug Racine by about 200 votes and Deb Markowitz by at least 650. Matt Dunne and Susan Bartlett lagged farther behind and appeared out of contention.
Racine and Markowitz said Wednesday they had enough questions about the unofficial tallies collected by the media to want to see a tabulation based on town clerks’ reports before agreeing Shumlin was the winner.
Thursday afternoon, state election officials had received election results from all but a few town clerks, said Kathy DeWolfe, director of elections. She expected to have all the reports by this morning.
