I see no problem with this.  Rhode Island is 37 miles wide and 48 miles long.  144 polling locations within that small of a state seems perfectly reasonable.

That worked so well in Arizona.  Does RI have wide open early voting?

The southern half of New England is highly dense. Rhode Island is #2 among the US in pop. density.

RI can do what they want. It's not like its a democracy.

But still, this sounds like an unnecessary abridge meant of democracy.  Still, I don't know the specifics.

This is what RI usually does for primaries. The reason it's a news story is because the presidential primaries rarely gets to us.

How do people know which polling place they are supposed to go to?

Note to self: subtle Dorr's Rebellion-related sarcasm doesn't work on the Internet. Smiley
