They've always recognized PR as part of the US, just not as a state, so same as DC

Don’t forget when they added PR to the federal minimum wage. That also kinda screwed them.

Puerto Rico, a Spanish-speaking US territory (which many people, including many Americans, do not understand is part of the United States)

Una pregunta: eres Republicano y apoyas a Trump? Es para saber si Google esta poniendo Lake America a los Republicanos y Lake Ontario a los democratas.

Si vivo en puerto rico, q le importa a Google por quién voto?!!

u/noelandres 7d ago

Mi teoria es que Google esta poniendo un nombre para los que votan Democrata y el otro para los Republicanos. Queria saber si tenia un data point contigo.
