Rhode Island Suffrage Realities Trigger Alarm and Debate
In Rhode Island the law requiring $1344 in taxable real estate to vote for foreign born citizens is criticized as a stark disfranchisement. Veterans like Colonel John M. Duffy and Colonel James Moran face loss of voting rights despite service. The piece argues this state policy, pushed by Republicans, demeans patriotic veterans, contrasts with federal and Massachusetts protections, and highlights broader charges of political manipulation.
