Flags came out, calls in to talk shows, social media posts. How many votes does it have the potential to generate? I'm not sure a pollster could answer that question. Puerto Ricans were solidly behind Harris already for the most part. But in Pennsylvania, if that picks up another 10,000 votes, that's a good thing. IT could do a lot more damage in Florida.
