Among the many individuals who impersonated voters in Rhode Island during the 2010 election cycle, there was one that really stood out.
That was the year Democratic Mayor David Cicilline of Providence, Rhode Island, ran for and won the seat congressional seat vacated by Rep. Patrick Kennedy.
A key witness who claims she was hired by Cicilline in 2010 alleges in sworn statement that several individuals impersonated actual voters, and voted in disguise. Here is where it gets very creative.
“That afternoon I identified individuals who had voted in disguise, including cross-gender clothing, earlier in the day,” the witness said. “This included a currently powerful leader in the Rhode Island House of Representatives.”
U.S. Rep. David Cicilline’s political campaigns benefitted from a highly organized voter-fraud effort dating back to 2002, his Democratic primary opponent alleged in a press conference yesterday.
Anthony Gemma, who is running against Cicilline in the September 11 primary, told reporters in Providence that a private investigation agency he retained uncovered evidence that demonstrates how fraudulent activity conducted in Cicilline’s name “compromises the very core of the electoral process.”
Since this one involves all Democrats, it will be interesting to see how the Brennan Center For Justice, the Advancement Project, the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and other voter fraud deniers spin this one.

Vote fraud deniers don't need to "spin this one". It was reported by a "right wing site". They will simply call it a lie.
Any source that's not left-wing is dismissed as a right-wing lie. This allows them to believe anything they want, and to hide any inconvenient truths by simply not reporting them.
Meanwhile, we continue to be told to accept without question their claims of our racism, our sexism, our greed, the nebulous abuses of the rich, and the unspeakable evils that would result from any of our policies being enacted.

As a former Rhode Islander, trust me. Whatever negative or insult is said about this state is absolutely true. My favorite story? Within a matter of several years this unfolded: the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was forced to resign because he was cavorting with mafioso and seen(with pictures taken)going to a motel with his mistress; the governor was convicted and served a prison sentence; the mayor of Providence was convicted and served a five year prison sentence. And there are more stories.......

As a current Rhode Islander, let me clear this up a tad, JD.
Cicilline's DEMOCRATIC challenger, Anthony Gemma, was the guy who hired the private detectives who gathered the evidence (with sworn affidavits from witnesses to the alleged fraud). So this story was not concocted by a "right-wing website." Gemma made the charges in a press conference.
Cicilline was Providence's mayor, and it came out after he was elected to his first term in Congress that he essentially lied about his use of the city's rainy day fund to create a veneer of fiscal solvency, when in fact, the city was on the verge of bankruptcy. Cicilline's lies, deceptions and slickness are well known (he is the son of a famous mob lawyer) and his re-election is in doubt. However, RI's idiot liberal voters may still vote him back in... because the bad and mean Republicans want to take away their Social Security.

Here's one undercover video that Gemma's hired private investigators made that shows fraud in action. (Video obtained by the Providence Journal.)
