RI will only open 1 in 3 polling places for primary... Here we go again.

Because clearly Arizona and New York weren't enough on the docket of states to be suppressed...

Think you know where your polling place is for next week’s Rhode Island presidential primary? You’d better double check.

The R.I. Board of Elections plans to open only 144 of Rhode Island’s 419 polling places for the April 26 primary, cutting the number by two-thirds compared with a typical November election, which will reduce the cost of administering the vote.

Robert Rapoza, the board’s director of elections, noted that a similar-sized reduction was made for the March 2008 presidential primary, which saw record primary turnout of 216,000 Rhode Island voters. (By comparison, the November 2014 general election attracted 329,000 voters and the November 2012 general attracted 450,000.)

However, that was before Rhode Island cut the total number of polling places for November elections from 541 to 419 – so in the 2008 presidential primary there were 177 open even after the two-thirds reduction, 33 more than this year.

4. Bernie supporters...We're running against Hillary so be prepared with your "Voting Preparedness Kit"

Voting in an election where you are running against Hillary--requires Fema-like disaster preparedness. The people of Rhode Island must plan.

When you leave for your polling location, please remember to bring plenty of bottled water, enough meals for 8+ hours and make sure that your phone is charged. It's always a good idea to bring a lawn chairs. Depending on weather conditions, blankets may be in order. Extreme situations, which are entirely possible, may require a generator, extension cords, a margarita machine and copies of the Serenity Prayer for you and those around you.

Good luck. We're all counting on you.

5. Don't worry soon they will have it where only free white land owning males can vote.

And we really would have gone back in time.
