The 2006 Providence Mayoral election against Cicilline was filled with numerous counts of election fraud, including thousands of votes found without the applications to vote that are required to accompany the ballot to vote.
​
Chris came very close to winning the 2006 election by getting 26% of the vote in that election.
Chris may have won the 2006 election if issues of election fraud had been addressed by the courts, the legislature or the State Board of Elections.
In addition, Young had only four articles written on him out of a possible 4,000 written on his opponents in the 2006 election - this was a intentional media black out. This draws attention onto the free press in Rhode Island and how it is not free from external influences that decide who is covered in elections in Rhode Island.
