The hysteria may have waned over the last couple of years, but there are still those convinced that the 2020 election was filled with fraud and that it was stolen from former President Donald Trump. The Public’s Radio Political Reporter Ian Donnis shares the story of a Rhode Island website that offers a portal into that world of conspiracy theorists and election deniers. Also: there’s a call for a deeper investigation into why the Woonsocket police arrested a man and held him for days just on a nickname. And finally: can you define “outsider art”? The Jamestown Arts Center has an exhibit of artists who didn’t come from traditional art training.
