(Providence, RI)--Rhode Islanders will again decide if they want to keep the "Providence Plantations" part of the state's official name in today's election.Question 1, which would amend the state constitution to make the name change happen, was previously voted on in 2010 and was overwhelmingly defeated.The issue was brought back to attention this year by supporters of the U.S. racial justice movement.The city of Providence and Governor Gina Raimondo took action in June to remove "Plantations" from certain official documents.
