The number of votes in Vermont was 310,499. 183,621 to Kerry, 120,710 to Bush. So, if we were to do a popular vote system, Vermont contributed 183,621/55,949,407 votes to Kerry. That would translate to .33% of his vote. In the electoral system, Vermont contributed 1.2% towards Kerry's total electoral votes...the odds may only be a little bit better, but Vermont has more power with electoral votes than the popular vote, and a little bit can make or break an election.
