Sanders supporters up in arms over Puerto Rico polling locations

"Supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders are up in arms about the number of polling locations in place for the Puerto Rico primary.
A Sanders supporter, for example, pointed out in a tweet on Sunday that Puerto Rico had 1,510 polling locations in place for the Democratic primary three weeks ago.
Now it has just 455."

When aren't they up in arms? Hillary is going to win big in PR. This will affect her more than him. Metric System May 2016 #2
