Voter rolls off by 189,000 in Rhode Island, Journal analysis finds

[TexasTowelie]

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Rhode Island's voter rolls contain as many as 189,000 more names than they should, a Providence Journal analysis shows.

Based on estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, Rhode Island would be expected to have 592,672 registered voters.

But the state has 781,770 people listed as eligible to vote in the Nov. 8 election, according to the voter registration database maintained by Secretary of State Nellie M. Gorbea. That's an excess of 189,098.

"Oh, my! Wow! Holy crap!" Brandon S. Bell, the state's Republican Party chairman said in reaction to The Journal's analysis. "I have to wrap my head around this, but that's a really huge number."

1. The implication is what? and why are they going to the republican party chairman to

have him imply fraud.

Funny that there was no issue with this during the primaries

2. This article is drivel

It is biased, one sided, and pushes right wing talking points. They fail to go into any depth as to why the extra names are on the rolls in the first place.

3. Stupid article. Like a GOP ad for voter fraud. Ignores the big box

in the center that shows census with 784,000+ eligible voters in the state. Doesn't explain how they came up with there only supposed 592,672 number.
