A new law in Rhode Island is taking effect that will require voters to show identification when heading to the polls. The new law will still allow people without the proper identification to cast provisional ballots, according to the Boston Globe. And, the state is required to offer voter identification cards to those who lack the proper identification. Rhode Island is the 30th state to pass the law.

Monday, January 9, 2012
In December, the Greater Boston Tea Party announced a new leader, according to the Boston Globe. Haverhill's Christine Morabito took over for the group that has dominated political headlines over the last two years and made waves in the 2010 midterm elections. Since its inception, though, the tea party has often been a source of controversy. Many blame tea party members for political stalemate in Washington resulting from ideological purity. Others, however, feel the Tea Party has driven positive discussion in politics focused on smaller government and limiting debt. So Medfield, we want to know ...

The long-awaited and much-anticipated Iowa caucuses took place Tuesday, officially opening primary season across the country.
The Iowa caucuses took place Tuesday, with Mitt Romney reportedly winning by eight votes over Rick Santorum with Ron Paul finishing a strong third, according to Iowa's Marion Patch website. The eight vote differential between Romney and Santorum was the closest race in GOP caucus history, according to Libertyville Patch. Next up is the New Hampshire primary (Jan. 10) and on Jan. 21, South Carolina. Then they come fast and furious. But doesn't it seem like it's been ages since all that campaigning began? The first Republican debate was back in May 2010 – when a guy named Tim Pawlenty was a frontrunner and no one had even heard of Herman Cain. So Medfield, we want to know ... Today's question: What do you think? Does the primary …
