Voters in the pivotal swing state of Wisconsin and three Northeastern states will have a chance to indicate their support or opposition to their parties’ presumptive nominees in presidential primaries Tuesday. Wisconsin voters will also decide the fate of two Republican-backed statewide ballot measures that will shape how elections in the state are run and funded.
Farther south, Arkansas and Mississippi voters will return to the polls to decide a handful of legislative seats that were forced to runoffs in primaries held in March.
Although multiple names remain on the presidential ballots in Wisconsin, Connecticut, New York and Rhode Island, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trumpface no major challengers and already have secured more delegates than they need to win their parties’ nominations at the conventions this summer. Voters in Connecticut and Rhode Island will have the additional option of voting “uncommitted” if they want to register a protest vote against Biden, a Democrat, or Trump, a Republican. Wisconsin voters have a similar option, although it’s called “Uninstructed Delegation” on their ballot.

“Uncommitted” at 29% is a huge share of Providence’s Democratic vote. I saw no massive, visible “Vote Uncommitted !” campaign in R.I.

The Rhode Island GOP is very small, although Trump carries the small towns that do not abut the ocean or Narragansett Bay.
This is kinda silly…..
Biden wins Wisconsin, Conn, NY, RI …..GOP contests
Trump wins Wisconsin..Conn, NY, RI……Dem Contests
