Puerto Rico primary thread

[TiltsAreUnderrated]

The Republicans held an online poll of the party's members in lieu of a primary and awarded all delegates to Trump. The Democratic one is being held today.

I'm not sure if the downballot primaries are also being held here today, but I don't think so. Polls close at 3pm EST.

The NYT have a page up: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/07/12/us/elections/results-puerto-rico-president-democrat-primary-election.html

Early results from abcnews.com:

13% Sanders
9% Bloomberg

About 2% of precincts reporting.

Also, Warren is currently behind Buttigieg.

Bloomberg spammed the local TV and radio stations early on in the primary. It looks like some of it stuck.

Also, Warren is currently behind Buttigieg.

Bloomberg WON American Samoa. The man is an unstoppable political force in the territories.

Bloomberg WON American Samoa. The man is an unstoppable political force in the territories.

On the other hand, he wasn't even on the ballot in Guam, the Virgin Islands, or the Northern Mariana Islands, so I guess that force stopped somewhere.

Yikes, only 3,879 votes cast.

Well, Puerto Rico has had so many natural disasters and setbacks in the last year or so, that voting in the Dem primary would be the very last thing to do, if to do.

Current presidential results:
56% Biden
13.3% Sanders
12.7% Bloomberg

Gabbard, Buttigieg, Warren, Steyer, and Klobuchar all have fewer votes than there are undervotes and blank ballots.

The results for the gubernatorial primaries have started coming in:

-Pedro Pierluisi defeated Wanda Vasquez in the New Progressive Party's primary. He currently leads her by 58% to 42% with 66% of the electoral colleges reporting.

- Carlos Delgado defeated Eduardo Bhatia and Carmen Yulín Cruz in the Popular Democratic Party's primary. He currently leads them by 64% to 23% to 13% with 45% of the electoral colleges reporting.
