    Rhode Island 11/6/12 Election Results

    RI had 7 statewide ballot questions and at least 4 liberty candidates on the ballot - Barry Hinckley for US Senate, Michael Rollins for RI State Senate, Mike Donahue for RI State House and Gary Johnson for President.

    Were there any other liberty candidates in RI? Based on the results I have, no pro-liberty candidate or ballot question passed (unless you consider Question 1 pro-liberty), all 5 anti-liberty ballot questions failed and the 4 liberty candidates went 0 for 4.
