The news outlets – CNN, Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS, along with the Associated Press – usually split the bill for National Election Pool polling results, which provide the data for the super-duper touch screens that John King is so fond of on primary nights.

But back in April, NEP reps decided not to set up polling for Sunday's Puerto Rico Democratic primary. Perhaps it's because, while Puerto Ricans get to vote in the Democratic primary, their political status means they don't get to vote in the actual presidential election. Or perhaps because they have finally stopped giving Hillary Clinton the benefit of the doubt. Or perhaps they're racist! Whatever.

Then things kind of changed: The Democratic primary race became one of the most closely contested in recent memory, making every delegate's vote worthwhile. But only one network reversed course and decided to find out the island nation's results before official filings come in. So CNN is footing the bill all by itself, paying an estimated $100,000 to have people on the ground at polling places. [THR]

And once they've broadcast their exit polling analysis to all over America, expect MSNBC, FNC, and all the rest of 'em to repeat that data without paying a penny.
