PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Usually after an election, the biggest arguments are over who won or lost. But on WHJJ's "The Helen Glover Show" last week, the big beef was over who was allowed to vote.
Glover's guest was Carolyn Medeiros, executive director of the Alliance for Safe Communities, an organization that monitors criminal justice issues and acts as an advocate for victims of crimes.
In a segment billed as "Outrage of the Week," Medeiros cited the fact that 3,001 felons on probation or parole had been allowed to vote in Rhode Island during the 2008 election, and she said that a larger but unknown number had probably voted in this month's election.
PolitiFact Rhode Island examined her claim and ruled it True. Read the complete ruling here.
