Republican Puerto Rico Primary results thread (polls close @2pm ET?)

[Xing]

Fantastic FF result -- good to see little _trump be denied the achievement of first candidate to surpass 50% in a contest!

On a different note, I too am quite curious to know why Fiorina did so (comparatively) well. She's close to being within single digits of _trump!

He was denied that honor a while ago. Bernie Sanders was the first one.

Ah, well, point taken. I meant on the Republican side

Rubio underperforms McCain, Romney, and pretty much every establishment candidate ever in Puerto Rico.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Ugh, I changed my prediction yesterday from Rubio>70 to Rubio>60. Shouldn't have overreacted.

And Bush, and Dole, and...

It's not too late; he might still sink into the 60s.  According to Decision Desk HQ, he's only at 71% right now:

Yeah Rubio has been steadily dropping since the vote counting started.

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

Wow, Rubio might even get 2nd place in Florida!

[ag]

The first state/territory where one candidate got more than 50% of the vote on the Republican side this year!

Yeah Rubio has been steadily dropping since the vote counting started.

I think DDHQ and the Election Commission are counting blank and invalid ballots as votes, which explains part of the drop.  There are 1,445 "otros" (others), which includes just 14 write-ins.  If you don't count the otros, Rubio is still at 74%.

Gilmentum!

Only 14 of the Otros are write-ins.  And a whopping 1.37% of the PR electorate turned out.

Every Senatorial district was Rubio-Trump-Cruz.  San Juan was Trump's best Senatorial district.  He received 16.74% of the vote there.  Cruz broke 10% in 2 of the 8 Senatorial districts - Arecibo and Carolina.

That's a whopping 69% decrease in turnout. Yikes.

[Mr. Morden]

That's a whopping 69% decrease in turnout. Yikes.

Well, when you decrease the number of polling stations by more than 90%, what do you expect? 

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

CNN says Rubio 73.8% with 100% in. Rubio's inevitable nationally now!!!!

Didn't seem to impact turnout in Maine much.

CNN/AP must be ignoring the Otros, except perhaps for write-ins.  It really doesn't make sense to count the blank and spoiled ballots in the total.  As I said, there were only 14 write-ins.
