Vt. Progressive Party Recount Remains Unresolved

Posted: Updated:
MONTPELIER, Vt. -

 (AP) - Vermont officials say the winner of the gubernatorial primary in the Progressive Party should be known early in the new week.

Judge Robert Bent of the Washington Superior Court has set a status conference in the recount for Monday afternoon and final hearing for Tuesday morning.

  It took all of Thursday and half of Friday for county clerks to tabulate ballots of the fewer than 1,000 Vermonters who voted in the Progressive primary on Aug. 28.

Party Chairwoman Martha Abbott appeared to have won the election by one vote in early reporting of results.

 Write-in candidate Annette Smith asked for the recount.
