no surprise. Providence won the Governorship for Raimondo, otherwise
she would have lost.. and Healey chipped in with his naive voters.
East Side and automatic Democrats overcame Cianci strengths in West and South.
This is a very polarized state, like the entire country.. Democrats win the cities
and Republicans win the suburbs/countryside.

Fung also had issues of supporting Republican voters in cities he should have been stronger in..East Greenwich is an example.
I'm not sure why anyone believes the master lever plays any signifigant role in the tallies.
Look at the Governor's race. Healy got 22%, Fung 36%, Raimondo 40% Then look at the other races, some of which Republicans won easily , some of which Democrats won easily and some which were fairly close.
It doesn't look to me like single lever voting is prominent. The bigger problem is that in many races, there's not even an opponent! My GA senator and Rep ran unopposed.

no, Fung won East Greenwich.. by a small margin, yes, but there were only
about 5,000 total votes in that town. It was the straight party Democrat voters
in the urban areas, especially Providence, that won it for Raimondo.
She got 65% in Providence to Fung's 21%. Fung won the suburbs and rural areas.

I don't think the master lever means anything either.
Are we to believe that scratch party voters are all of a sudden
going to stop voting for their party just because they have to fill individual lines ?
Seems kind of preposterous.
According to RIGOV In 2010, 13 percent of voters used the straight-ticket option -- down sharply from more than 20 percent in 2008 and 2006.
