"More than 33,000 Rhode Islanders voted by mail; 45,000 voted in-person in state primary" (Commentary by Wendy Schiller)

Chair and Professor of Political Science, Wendy Schiller, on the growing pains of vote by mail in Rhode Island: "We don't have the electronic technology to process these ballots as I think we would like because we just basically decided to turn to this system. I think two years, four years from now, it's going to be different. For now, we're going to have to wait and be patient."
