Puerto Rico electric grid status:

No, it means the DOE is counting customers as "average" because it is expedient and practical.

All methods of counting converge when the number reaches 100%. That's the only number that really matters.

"Voting rights of United States citizens in Puerto Rico, like the voting rights of residents of other United States territories, differ from those of United States citizens in each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia. Residents of Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories do not have voting representation in the United States Congress, and are not entitled to electoral votes for President."

"Any U.S. citizen who resides in Puerto Rico is effectively disenfranchised at the national level, as are all U.S. citizen residents of U.S. unincorporated territories."

All of them. Puerto Rico has its own Constitution and Bill of Rights (Article 2): Yeah, I know Wikipedia is often wrong, but I'm too lazy|tired tonite to chase down the original documents.

What's to mock in not liking the fact that Donald Trump does happen to be t he (inadequate) president of the United States of America? He's still their president - in the sense that the deeply flawed electoral process put him the job - but nobody in their right mind is going to accept any responsibi lity for putting him there.

Even the people who thought that Hillary was too crooked to be allowed to g et at the job have to recognise that she had the competence to do it - whic h Trump clearly lacks.

Which is acknowledging they are both US citizens and are part of the US.

I don't think that would help. Unless you have a US government document that says, "Puerto Rico is not part of the US" the other issues aren't relevant.

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Does that sound familiar? Citizenship based on location of birth is grated only to those born "in the United States". Puerto Ricans are granted US citizenship because of where they are born, so ipso facto, Puerto Rico is part of the US.

Are we done with this ridiculous discussion?
