It's election day and you are representing the Lime Green Party of America. Name any state to grab its electoral votes and defeat the hated Periwinkle party.
Although Cape Verde has a population of 562,000 people and has Portuguese as the official language, it is not the native language of the people. Their native language is Cape Verdean Creole. But many Cape Verdeans can speak Portuguese too. I believe there is a similar situation for other former smaller Portuguese colonies.
