Yesterday over 10,000 students in Vermont cast their ballots as part of the new Kids Voting Vermont Program. The results of those elections are in, and there are a few surprises!

In the Presidential election, students picked Al Gore with 48 percent of the vote over George Bush with 43 percent of the vote.

In the Race for United States Senate, Jim Jeffords was the students’ pick with 45 percent of the vote over Ed Flanagan with 33 percent of the vote.

In a surprising result in the race for Governor, students picked Howard Dean by a wide margin with 52 percent of the vote over Ruth Dwyer with 29 percent of the vote. Anthony Pollina outperformed expectations by receiving 10 percent of the vote.

Other statewide races had students picking Doug Racine for Lieutenant Governor, Jim Douglas for State Treasurer, Deb Markowitz for Secretary of State, Elizabeth Ready for Auditor of Accounts and Bill Sorrell for Attorney General.

These results reflect the returns of 85 percent of the Kids Voting Vermont communities. Of the 15,000 students that participated in the Kids Voting curriculum in their schools, 67 percent cast ballots on Election Day.
