"Randy" Brock, Republican, Incumbent Jerry Levy, Liberty Union Thomas M. "Tom" Salmon, Democrat Election and recount Unofficial election night results had Democrat Thomas M. "Tom" Salmon losing to Republican incumbent Randolph D. "Randy" Brock by over 800 votes. But when the certified results were announced a few days later, Brock was leading by only 137 votes (with over 250,000 votes cast). Given the closeness of the election, Salmon, in accordance with Title 17, section 2602(b) of the state statutes, then petitioned the Washington County Superior Court for a recount. As recounted results began coming in from the state's 14 Counties, Brock's lead soon disappeared, and Salmon took the lead. On December 21, 2006, Superior Court Judge Mary Miles Teachout declared Salmon the winner by a margin of 102 votes over Brock.July 2016 InternetArchiveBot yes This was the first statewide recount in Vermont in 26 years.
