An Appellate Court is not (usually) the Court of original jurisdiction. So, in many cases you would start at a Federal Trial Court (District Court) and would have a normal trial. If you lost, you could appeal to the Appellate Court, who would review the record (only) from the Trial Court for clear error, bias, etc. A new trial does not occur at the Appellate Level, unless it is a court of original jurisdiction.

However, since Puerto Rico is not a state it has no electoral colleges and therefore they cannot vote in the presidential election.
When Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence, he
used a rhetorical writing style that was the standard during the 18th
century. The goal was to build towards a climax. By stating life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness as unalienable rights that should be enjoyed by all men he
set the tone for the rest of the document. The succeeding list described how
the British violated these rights in an order where the worst violations were
placed last.
