Veteran national Democratic consultant Tad Devine joined GoLocal LIVE’s Election Night coverage. Devine, who served as a senior adviser in Al Gore's 2000, John Kerry's 2004, Bernie Sanders in 2016, and Andrew Yang in 2020 Presidential campaigns, said he hopes a new era of voting can continue following COVID.
“Record turnout in Rhode Island and elsewhere could be explained by the barriers we’ve had to voting -- cramming it all into one day -- have been diminished,” said Devine. “I think that’s a really good idea and policy and I hope we keep it going.”
Election night in Rhode Island and across the country was disjointed and slow.
