2. No....he wanted Polling Monitors who were Certified....

But, you know that already. The reason there were less polling places is because of Puerto Rico's financial crisis.

Bernie is for "fair elections" and he knew he wasn't going to win Puerto Rico but wanted the polling places to at least have Certified Election monitors.

BTW: Hillary beat then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama in PR in 2008 with nearly 68 percent of the vote

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Hillary Clinton overwhelmed Bernie Sanders in Puerto Rico's Democratic presidential primary on Sunday, putting her within striking distance of capturing her party's nomination.
------------
The results were slow to arrive on Sunday, as officials counted ballots by hand and focused first on releasing results tied to the island's local primary elections, said Kenneth McClintock, Puerto Rico's former Democratic National Committeeman.

As the results from Puerto Rico trickled in, Clinton maintained a steady 2-to-1 lead over Sanders.
-----------
Though Clinton did not spend much time campaigning in Puerto Rico, the victory is fraught with symbolism for her campaign. Eight years ago, with the presidential nomination slipping from her grasp, she rolled through the streets of San Juan on the back of a flat-bed truck, wooing voters to a soundtrack of blasting Latin music.

She beat then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama with nearly 68 percent of the vote.

Clinton has 1,807 pledged delegates won in primaries and caucuses; Sanders has 1,516.
