County map:
Statewide Result NAY, 2,708 91.95% YEA, 237 8.05%
This referendum was held on March 24, 1788. Rhode Island's General Assembly had called for a popular vote on whether to ratify the proposed U.S. Constitution. The propriety of such a method was questioned (see U.S. Const., Article VII), and many Federalists boycotted the vote.
I hope to add these results to the Atlas database eventually, but since that's not possible right now and I'm eager to share the data, I decided to do this the old fashioned way. I apologize for the lack of a transparent background; unfortunately, I have only Microsoft Paint to work with, and it doesn't support such a feature. The map is saved in PNG format.
Here's the county data:
Bristol NAY, 98 72.59% YEA, 37 27.41%
Kent NAY, 556 98.76% YEA, 7 1.24%
Newport NAY, 270 71.05% YEA, 110 28.95%
Providence NAY, 1,061 97.97% YEA, 22 2.03%
Washington NAY, 723 92.22% YEA, 61 7.78%
Town data coming up...
EDIT: Added the statewide figures, which I had somehow managed to leave out.
