In a sweeping show of dissatisfaction, voters cast out more than two dozen Democratic state lawmakers, eliminating Democratic supermajorities in the Vermont Legislature.
The results stunned lawmakers and set off soul-searching, leaving even some stalwart Democratic voters elated. It was a revolution, said John McCormick.
The shift is expected to change the dynamics at the State House, motivating Democrats to engage in more discussion and consider compromise.
Republicans will now hold 56 seats in the House and 17 in the Senate, allowing for progress on top priorities like overhauling the school funding system.
