Okay, I'll let that slide as a good enough explanation. Although I am kinda surprised that Puerto Rico and others are eligible to vote. Is there any particular reason why they aren't recognized as proper states? |
In that case they would get two seats in the senate and at least one in the house. Which would shift majorities in these chambers. And as the current majorities in the chambers vote about the issue - this is difficult.
But although they are not proper states of the US, the parties decided to let them vote in the primaries, to decide the presidential candidate.
