So it is…<\/p>\n

Connie Johnson… 50,180 … 57 percent
\nJim Rogers … 37,935 … 43 percent<\/p>\n

93 percent of the vote tallied.<\/p>\n

What does this signify?\u00c2\u00a0 More or less than this<\/a>…<\/p>\n

In Vermont, less than a quarter of registered voters were expected to turn out Tuesday, but the colorful races included a Democrat candidate who in 2012 argued that President Obama is not a natural-born citizen and unsuccessfully waged a legal battle in the Vermont Superior Court in Montpelier for an injunction to stop distribution of the ballots during that election.<\/em>
\nAccording to the Burlington Free Press<\/a>, that candidate, Democrat H. Brooke Paige, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153based his argument on readings of a 1758 legal treatise he said influenced the writers of the U.S. Constitution. The document, called the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcLaw of Nations,\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 decreed that a person seeking the presidency must not just be a U.S. citizen, but a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcnatural born citizen,\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 defined as someone born of parents who were both American citizens at the time of birth.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em>
\nPaige, 62, ran in his party\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s primary for two offices at once: governor and attorney general.<\/em>
\nHe suffered a double loss Tuesday evening.<\/em><\/div>\n
81 to 19 percent, and 83 to 17.\u00c2\u00a0 Pretty strange drop off, considering that the vote total appears to be the same<\/a>.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
