Puerto Rican Officials: Do not expect an exceptionally large turnout

Hmmm. What will this do to Clinton's so called "popular vote" argument. I really want statehood for Puerto Rico. They seem like cool folks. I suspect if PR could vote in the GE, they'd go for Obama.


"Clinton's campaign now says she has won the most votes since the contest began in January, a debatable claim for a number of reasons, including the fact that she ran virtually unopposed in Michigan and vote totals from several caucus states cannot be calculated.

"Her campaign chairman, Terry McAuliffe, was quick to note that during his appearance on ABC.

"Well clearly, it ultimately comes down to the delegates. But I think it's very important to note that Hillary Clinton will have received more votes than anyone ever running for president on either side in primary battle," said McAuliffe, who was with Clinton in Puerto Rico.

"While polls show her ahead, island officials don't expect an exceptionally large turnout. That means Clinton might not get the huge influx of popular votes she is counting on."
