PLD sweeps expatriate vote

[Dolores]

President-elect Leonel Fernandez received at least 73% of the vote in each of the eight polling stations set up abroad, according to results of Bulletin No. 8 of the JCE, with 80% of the vote counted.

Boston (3,491 valid votes): 77.4% PLD, 19.6% PRD, 2.8% PRSC.
Miami (1,745 valid votes): 74.4% PLD, 21.5% PRD, 3.7% PRSC.
New Jersey (4,439 valid votes): 74% PLD, 22.3% PRD, 3.3% PRSC.
New York (12,101 valid votes): 73.7% PLD, 21.4% PRD, 4.4% PRSC.
Orlando (190 valid votes): 73.7% PLD, 23.7% PRD, 2.63% PRSC.

Puerto Rico (3,225 valid votes): 79.9% PLD, 17.5% PRD, 2.4% PRSC.

Barcelona (1,329 valid votes): 73% PLD, 17.4% PRD, 6.6% PRSC.
Madrid (2,913 valid votes): 77.7% PLD, 15.1% PRD, 5% PRSC.

Voter turnout was 50% less than those registered to vote in New York, Madrid and Barcelona. One could speculate lots of PRD people decided to stay home and not vote.

Maybe the island-dwelling Dominicans will take notice. We foreign Dominicans might have a clearer perspective.

That's because we have seen better..most of the people in the DR are have somewhat lower expectations, or should I say, they would settle for less.
