Puerto Rico Suspends Primary Voting Due to Lack of Ballots

HeadlineAug 10, 2020

In Puerto Rico, election officials had to partially suspend voting Sunday as a number of polling centers had still not received ballots. Puerto Ricans expressed anger and frustration at the election-day chaos, as the island is still grappling with last year’s political turmoil which forced then-Governor Ricardo Rosselló to resign over offensive leaked text messages and accusations of corruption. San Juan mayor and President Trump foe Carmen Yulín Cruz is running to become governor.
