Welch wins landslide re-election

Exit polls by WCAX show Vermont's sole U.S. Congressman, Peter Welch (D-Hartland), has handily won his re-election bid.

Welch, a first time representative, received tremendous support among Green Mountain state residents and secured his seat with over 84 percent of the vote, with about 92 percent of precincts reporting.

As a result of the primaries, the congressional representative received the nomination of both the Democratic and Republican Parties, although he is a Democrat.
