SMITHFIELD, RI—Unofficial results from the November 3 election in Smithfield show that the Trump campaign has a slight lead among the town's voters despite a general lead among Democratic candidates. The majority of Smithfield voters also voted against the statewide ballot question. Question 1 did pass, however, meaning the official name of the state will change, dropping "Providence Plantations" from its title. According to Rhode Island Secretary of State Nellie M. Gorbea, voters in Rhode Island overwhelmingly chose to vote by mail, with 83 percent sending mail-in ballots compared the the nine percent of voters who voted by mail in the 2016 general election. Voters in Smithfield were choosing sides in the presidential race, a U.S. House race, a U.S. Senate race, local Town Council and School Committee races, one statewide ballot question, and 20 town-specific ballot questions.
