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.

RChris PritchardState House · Rutland-Bennington
State legislative officeholder from OpenStates nightly current-legislator data.
Spanning parts of Rutland and Bennington counties, this 4,000-resident district sits in Vermont's hilly southwest corner, where a modest Democratic lean in presidential voting coexists with the independent streak typical of rural New England.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 30.0 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 59.8 points in 1896. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 5.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 9.7 points.
A population of 4,024, a 92% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $71,758 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Rutland-9 State House District and Rutland-Windsor State House District.

Political twins — state-house districts
The state-house districts whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
Twin score (0–100) = weighted cosine between tier-standardized fingerprints: presidential margins 2000–2024 with 12-yr trend and elasticity, ACS income, age, education, population and race, top reported ancestries, and religious adherence — chips name the closest-shared dimensions and the widest gap.
