The article isn't about the whole country; it's about a couple of very particular bits of it that have histories of voter difficulty, and have a disproportionate impact on the election because they're in a swing state.

If you want an article on the other thing, go read an article on the other thing. Here's one from earlier this year, from this same site:

Why is it always Democratic groups that have a hard time voting for whatever reason? Are liberals too stupid and incompetent to do basic life tasks? You tell me.

The Virgin Islands Constitution

The Virgin Islands Constitution Order 2007 establishes a new Constitution for the Virgin Islands, to replace the Constitution of 1976. The new Constitution includes, for the first time, a chapter setting out the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual and provisions for their enforcement. It provides for a Governor as Her Majesty’s representatives in the Islands, and for a Premier and Ministers who form a Cabinet together with the Attorney General. It provides for an elected House of Assembly, which together with Her Majesty forms the Legislature.

The Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court continues to have jurisdiction in the Islands. Provision is made for a Public Service Commission, a Teaching Service Commission, a Judicial and Legal Services Commission, and a Police Service Commission to provide advice on appointments to offices in these services. A new National Security Council is established, as is the office of Director of Public Prosecutions. Provision is also made for public finance, a Complaints Commissioner, and a Register of Interests.
