Puerto Rico doesn't care

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Puerto Rico ... is showing little interest in what's left of the contest between Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

...

Electoral officials predict fewer than 25 percent of the 2.3 million registered voters will turn out for Sunday's primary.

This, despite the sizable prize of 55 delegates at stake, more than are offered in Montana and South Dakota combined.

...

Islanders typically are reluctant to become entangled in mainland politics and now that most of the suspense is gone, it's questionable whether the forecast for 500,000 Puerto Ricans to vote will hold up.

...

Puerto Rico's independence party, which polls at less than 5 percent in local elections, has called for supporters to boycott the primary because Puerto Ricans cannot vote in November's general election. Some members of mainstream parties also oppose the election.

Charlie Hernandez, a lawmaker from the governor's party that favors maintaining the island's commonwealth affiliation with the U.S., said the island has traditionally asked Washington to stay out of its business and should sit out the U.S. election.

"I think there are other ways to influence Washington without converting Puerto Rico into an appendage of North American politics," he said.

Kind of sends a message when voter turnout in local elections actually beats US turnouts for most elections, state and federal. Ahh... colonial politics at its best.

Pedrito... eso no se dice mi pana. That noise is part of the invasion that's been hitting the entire planet as of late.
