    Yes, very good Mr president. Would you say that Venezuela is in the room with us now?

    I mean come on. wtf would, I guess the entire country of Venezuela, be doing hacking voting machines in Puerto Rico? And to what end, to get Mr shits himself elected?

    And further, I don’t think Puerto Rico can vote? Sooooooo…… what’re we doing again?

      They can’t vote in US federal elections but obviously they do have local elections. Also, they apparently vote for delegates to the DNC/RNC:

      Like other territories, Puerto Rico holds presidential primary elections in the spring of each presidential election year in which the parties choose delegates to the Republican and Democratic national conventions. While these delegates do vote for their pledged candidate at their respective convention, this marks the end of the territory’s participation in the presidential election. U.S. citizens, including Puerto Ricans, can vote for president if they are registered to vote and reside in any of the 50 States or the District of Columbia (For an example of how this functions, see 2016 United States presidential primaries in Puerto Rico.)
