I've lived in RI my entire life, and this makes me not regret in the slightest packing up my family and business and moving to Florida a week ago.

This is peak Sheldon. Rhode Islanders are incredibly familiar with it, but it's fun to share our pain with the rest of the country.

I remember there being rumors of election fraud in RI in the 2016 election. Any truth to that?

The amount of election fraud that occurs in RI, even on a municipal basis, is so staggering that it's effectively been accepted as a norm since the late 1980s.

I've been involved with conservative campaigns in the area, and watching everything from the bussing in of voters to outright polling place and ballot fraud made the experience utterly soul crushing. The size of the state and stacked legislature makes for a impenetrable wall of corruption which has resulted in most Democrats running unopposed.

Wow, that's as bad as it gets and I'm sorry to hear it. Crap. Thanks for the reply TIL.
