Few Woonsocket Voters Pick Democratic Candidates
About 3,000 voters decide primary candidates.
Just 14.92 percent of eligible voters have named Stephen Casey (Dist. 50), Rep. Lisa Baldelli-Hunt (D-Dist. 49) and Sen. Marc Cote (D-Dist. 24) Woonsocket's Democratic candidates.
Assuming mail-in ballots don't sway any of the races, Casey and Cote will run unopposed Nov. 6. Baldelli-Hunt will run against Michael E. Moniz.
