We were also supposed to get 500k-1000k Puerto Rican voters supposedly livid at the way the administration treated them after Hurricane Maria. What we got was senator red tide and a Trump clone for governor.
Also we're a conservative state by majorities at the capital, so regardless of what voters want the legislature has decided that all felons who would otherwise be allowed to vote must satisfy "all" financial obligations related to their sentences. It's only a matter of time before we, through our state representatives, decide that includes paying the whole, actual cost of the incarceration.
And even if they all plan to vote blue, the example of the complete no show of the livid Puerto Rican voter suggests that either there are a lot more conservatives in this state than close elections seem to suggest, or a lot of my fellow liberal voters are exactly as lazy as Bernie's popularity seems to suggest.
