Third column names the leading third-party or independent finisher. Source · MIT Election Lab · ICPSR · VEST (precinct-level 2024). Swing · margin change from the prior cycle. vs U.S. · margin relative to the national result that year. † 2012 sub-county results are estimated: the source's block-level detail for this cycle was unreliable — either county/municipality-level consolidated reporting (COVID-era) or a precinct-to-block allocation that misplaced votes — so the figures are allocated from the constituent county totals in proportion to the place and scaled to certified totals.

REric MaguireState House · Rutland-5
State legislative officeholder from OpenStates nightly current-legislator data.
Rutland-5 covers a slice of one of Vermont's more traditionally Republican-leaning counties, yet its 2020 presidential result ran well to the Democratic side, reflecting the broader leftward shift in Vermont's smaller urban and town-center precincts.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 28.6 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 61.1 points in 1896. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 4.3 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 5.7 points.
A population of 4,110, a 87% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $89,185 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Rutland-8 State House District and Rutland-9 State House District.
