Source notes · U.S. House by county, 2022 vs 2026
Vermont: sources, checks and caveats
File: VT.csv (14 counties, at-large district). Vermont reports by town: 247 towns/cities in both years, which are summed into counties. d is the Democratic candidate's votes, r the Republican candidate's, and o all other candidates plus write-ins. Blank, spoiled and over-votes are excluded. Towns split across state House districts appear several times in the 2026 ENR, and all of those parts are summed.
Sources
- 2022 (certified): Vermont Elections Database (electionarchive.vermont.gov), contest 157890 "U.S. House, General Election Nov 2022". We used the
City/Town rows.

As of: the file name stamp is 2026-11-09 21:28:09, and the HTTP Last-Modified is Tue 2026-11-10 02:28:13 GMT (Mon Nov 9, 9:28 pm ET). It was downloaded right after.
- Town→county mapping: Census 2020 county subdivisions, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/reference/codes2020/cousub/st50_vt_cousub2020.txt. "Saint X" is matched to "St. X". Essex Junction became a city in 2022 and is not in the 2020 file, so it is mapped to Chittenden County (it was part of Essex town). City/town pairs with the same name (Barre, Rutland, St. Albans, Newport) are in the same county either way.

n/a |
- 2022 matches exactly.
- 2026 is +46 (D) and +47 (R) above the national aggregate, which fits a slightly later count. Our sum equals the ENR's own "STATE WIDE" row.
Districts with no D or no R candidate
- 2022: none (Balint D, Madden R).
- 2026: none (Balint D, Malloy R).
Caveats
- Fusion: neither Vermont source splits votes by party line. Each candidate gets one total, labeled with a single party: "Democratic" for Balint in both years. Any Progressive cross-nomination is therefore inside
d, and this is done the same way in both years.
o 2022 = Libertarian (Redic) 12,590, four Independents 13,541 and write-ins 1,004. o 2026 = four Independents 11,593 and write-ins 246.- No UOCAVA or statewide-only rows. Unorganized towns and gores report no separate votes.
