The 1828 Vermont gubernatorial election took place in September and October, and resulted in the election of Samuel C. Crafts to a one-year term as governor. [1]
The Vermont General Assembly met in Montpelier on October 9. [1] The Vermont House of Representatives appointed a committee to review the votes of the freemen of Vermont for governor, lieutenant governor, treasurer, and members of the governor's council. [1] The committee determined that Crafts had won election to a one-year term as governor. [1]
In the election for lieutenant governor, the committee determined that Democratic-Republican Henry Olin had won election to a second one-year term. [1] Contemporary newspaper articles reported the results as: Olin, 14,928 (95.8%); Lyman Fitch, 652 (4.2%). [2]
Benjamin Swan won election to a one-year term as treasurer, his twenty-ninth. [1] Though he had nominally been a Federalist, Swan was usually endorsed by the Democratic-Republicans and even after the demise of the Federalist Party he was frequently unopposed. [3] Newspapers of the time did not report vote totals, but did indicate that Swan had been reelected with no opposition. [2]
The vote totals in the governor's race were reported as follows: [1]
