GOP Incumbent McManus Trails Dem Challenger Loparto
Carroll Andrew Morse
With all 11 precints reporting, incumbent Republican William McManus trails Democratic challenger Ronald Loparto by 36 votes, 2,747-2,711, in Rhode Island's 46th General Assembly district.
UPDATE:
Mail ballots put McManus up by 11 votes, 2,811-2,800.
Comments
This is very disappointing. Bill McManus has been a strong, independent voice for Lincoln specifically and Rhode Island in general. I just hope that Loparto will be as useless a representative as he has been a councilor.
