    My understanding is that many Puerto Ricans don’t even want statehood.

      About 50-60% want statehood, it’s the majority opinion, but a lot of people like not having income taxes

        The last vote had a very huge abstention ‘vote’, which was the only reason the ‘for’ vote out performed the ‘against’.

        That’s actually a pretty fringe belief on Puerto Rico
