Thank you for removing this post!

"Though they are U.S. citizens, Puerto Rican citizens cannot cast votes in U.S. presidential elections. They can vote in a presidential primary, and they send delegates to the political conventions."

The person did not even google their information.

I wonder why someone just didn't correct the poster instead of removing the post? Mysterious.

Anyway, for anyone who wants to know, I found this on NBC News:

However, Puerto Ricans who reside in the mainland U.S. vote do vote in U.S. elections. So that's the difference — Puerto Ricans who live on the island participate in local elections, and those who live in the U.S. vote in U.S. elections.


I commend them for exercising their civil duty to vote against the ones who did them harm. People died, and they got paper towels thrown at them and remarks that they were busting Trump's budget. The admin. hired two guys (donors) to try to restore power to the entire territory. Imagine. It was so wrong...so wrong. If it were me, I'd make sure I did what I could to vote them out. That's what voting is FOR.

See my entire post, but by the time I went to post, it was gone. It was the posters first post, and was weird for being a first time post here.
