http://www.newser.com/article/128558cafc674ee5a7bbdd1216ce3514/the-latest-puerto-ricans-vote-in-democratic-primary.htmlThis could possibly qualify as LBN. But the hosts of that forum have apparently decided that they don't like what I post there - even when my information is different from/more updated than previously posted sources or from mainstream as opposed to RW sources. They have a tendency to lock my threads. So I am staying here - in one of the only two DU Groups where I feel comfortable.
WASHINGTON (AP) The Latest on the presidential campaign, with Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders holding events Sunday in California and Democrats in Puerto Rico voting in the party's primary (all times Eastern Daylight Time):
11:40 am.
Puerto Ricans frustrated by the island's economic crisis are voting in the U.S. territory's Democratic presidential primary, as front-runner Hillary Clinton drew closer to securing the number of delegates needed to win her party's nomination.
A blowout win Saturday in the U.S. Virgin Islands left Clinton just 60 delegates short of the 2,383 needed to win the nomination.
Sixty pledged delegates are at stake in Puerto Rico. Clinton would need to win more than 85 percent of the vote to get them all.
Voters were mainly focused on the island's economic crisis.

posting there and leave their bias @ the door.
Hopefully that will change on June 17th.

From over 1100 to 400+. Long lines and people don't know where to go to vote.
Here is another report about the logistical problems: http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2016/06/03/3783185/puerto-rico-polls-closed/
