        Probably because the island's politicians pocketed billions of dollars federal government gave Puerto Rico to improve their electrical system before hurricane Maria.

        But they can't vote in Puerto Rico? Confusing. Besides I was talking about politicians, most of them are indecent.

        No, they have to be on the mainland to vote. With their island destroyed, where do you think they will/have to go/have gone for help? PR doesn't have reps in Congress but they are American citizens and entitled to vote...

        So then why don't all of the Puerto Ricans leave their island and go to the mainland to vote? Which they don't do.

        They are a commonwealth belonging to the United States, I'm not sure if they can use absentee ballots but I do know they are US citizens, and if they register they can vote for Presidential elections.

        If the Florida State Legislature was made custodian of the Island and it's crisis, it would have had a better opportunity for the Judge to approve the Loan. #Florida4PR

        Lets include Puerto Rico and our other territories on the USA map like we do with states like Alaska and Hawaii. They are relocated to fit on the US map with a nice box around them. #onthemap#puertorico
