Also provides some evidence to confirm something I've suspected - that Italian Americans in NY are more Republican than elsewhere.
They're only relevant in NY and NJ and maybe CT a little bit
Rhode Island is more heavily Italian-American than Connecticut. I'm not aware of any history of specifically-Italian bloc voting or machine politics there, but there could be such a history that I just don't know about.
You're actually right and that's a good point. I still think the Italian population in Connecticut is more relevant based on the fact that it's...not Rhode Island, but they do have greater proportions in RI. One of my good friends from college was an Italian-American from Connecticut, so that is probably why I assumed that.
