In the democratic primary? with news of a deal now in the party and with obama maybe going over the top this tuesday do you think puerto rico will count? it would be a shame if it was the ONLY primary not to count after all of this. what do you feel should happen here?

well you would hope every state or territory would matter. the very premise of a primary though is that the later states just don't. its a sad state of our democracy that depending on where you live decides if you get a say in a primary. oh well that's life in america for you.

PR does not matter at this point. Super delegates are begining to support Obama more and more, and Clinton would need a miracle to get the most delegates. PR has been called for Hillary by a 67-32 margin, but that isn't enough. She will more than likely not overturn the popular vote with PR being that Obama is winning South Dakota. In short, PR matters, but it won't change anything.

Just like other USA territories, Puerto Rico can only vote for their local goverment (major, governor) but they cannot vote in USA Presidental Elections. So, they don't vote in the primaries nor do they vote in the presidental election. Unless they have moved into one of the USA states from Puerto Rico. Other than that, I don't believe they will make a difference as they can't vote.
