The foundation of a democratic republic is suffrage: the right to vote. Universal suffrage extends this civil right to all adults without distinction to race, sex, belief, intelligence or economic or social status. In the United States, almost all adult citizens over the age of 18 may vote in the presidential election. To this day, U.S. citizens who reside in Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands and other U.S. territories do not vote in presidential elections, but may vote in local elections.

How long does it take to drive from Sanjuan to Aguadilla? Ninety minutes? Two hours, tops? Carlos Delgado has driven that route countless times: 22 west to Arecibo and the 2 along the coast, then right on 107, past the Church's Fried Chickens and the Burger Kings and the Taco Makers to the little cul-de-sac with the three-bedroom orange-stucco house in which he grew up, sharing a room with his younger brother, Yasser. On a weekday morning, with no traffic, the car dealer should have gotten to Aguadilla by now. Instead he is telling Delgado -- again -- that he is on the road, but the traffic... Dios mío. That's the same story he told an hour ago. Delgado sighs, hangs up on the cellphone and says out loud, but more to himself, "He's coming, he's coming, he's coming. That's all he says."
