“Democrats in Puerto Rico have decided to change their contest from a caucus to a primary, and are seeking permission to move it up six days to occur on June 1. The switches would potentially increase the island’s role in the Democratic nominating process — and give the candidates a rare excuse to campaign legitimately in the tropics.

The Puerto Rico contest is expected to favor Clinton, who has done well so far among Hispanic voters and represents many native Puerto Ricans in New York. Changing from a caucus to a primary, as Democratic officials on the island have proposed, would likely increase Clinton’s chances as well.”*
