Vermont has been voting Democrats straight since 1992. You got it backwards - EC allows any presidential candidate to completely and comfortably ignore Vermont because nothing they do would change any outcome. (Hell, after this election, I'm not even sure if either candidate going on live TV with "Fuck Vermont!" would have changed anything.) If you are a presidential candidate and you spend an hour thinking about what Vermont needs, then you're wasting one hour of your precious time. Ditto for, say, Oklahoma (straight R since 1968).
