Vermont vote shows GOP edge may shift Electoral votes
The analysis argues that if Vermont’s 1904 Republican loss level repeats in November, Taft would win all states Roosevelt carried except Maryland where one electoral vote could shift. A Vermont-like drop would leave Taft with about a 6,700 lead over Bryan, with Missouri still safely Republican. The piece warns against relying on Vermont math due to local factors and factional disturbances.
