Message: From GoLocalProv by Paul J. Spetrini, GoLocalProv News Editor: When Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee won election to his position in 2010 with just 36.1 percent of the vote, his opponents said that the results meant that the majority of the state’s voters “weren’t being represented” by the office. The solution, they argued, was to institute run-off elections in future races with more than two candidates on the ballot in an effort to prevent one person from assuming the state’s highest position with less than a majority of voters on their side. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/lawmaker-renews-call-for-run-off-elections-in-governors-race
