Vermont open primary system mostly smooth in towns
In Vermont many clerks reported minimal disruption from the new open primary. Barre City Clerk Ralph Olliver noted fewer problems in voting and tabulation than expected with about 25 of 2,400 ballots spoiled. Smaller towns like Lunenburg and Ryegate had no complaints while ballots for both parties were discarded if not used. The diocese fund in Burlington reports a strong July tally, surpassing 1969 and 1968 marks, with 132 of 143 parishes meeting goals. Lt. Gov. Hayes failed to win Middlebury in the GOP primary, losing to Gov. Davis 557 to 92, a repeat of his 1966 pattern. Vermont Tax Department also reports July revenues nearly $2 million higher than last year.
