U.S. Territories and Federal Elections

Listen Tuesday, Jun. 3, 2008 at 1:06 p.m. in Politics

Guest host: Marc Fisher

The eyes of the political world were on Puerto Rico this past weekend, where one of the last presidential primaries of the 2008 cycle took place. But for many, Puerto Rico's Democratic primary served as a reminder that the people who live there and in other U.S. territories do not participate in the general election. Join us as we discuss the role of the U.S. territories in the electoral process.
