>If statehood wins, as expected, the island will enact what’s known as the Tennessee Plan, an avenue to accession by which U.S. territories send a congressional delegation to demand to be seated in Washington. Puerto Rico will send two senators and five representatives, chosen by Gov. Ricardo Rosselló (D), later this year, once the plan is put into action.

are they expecting gibs? also, this would make a great excuse for the gov to give jefferson statehood, as it'll be a new conservative state for a new libtard state.

They won't become a state. The status quo will be maintained as always.

if you check the link, you'll see that the vote they're gonna have is an ultimate choice; either they become a state or they become independent.

How about we let them become a state and kick out California?
Statehood opponents are counting on the boycott to lower turnout. They say that unless 50 percent of the total voter roll approves statehood, it will not be a credible vote.
According to a poll by San Juan-based newspaper El Nuevo Dia released last week, 72 percent of registered voters plan to vote, and 20 percent have already decided to boycott the election.
Opposition parties say a boycott is justified because the Department of Justice (DOJ) has not approved the final ballot.
Rosselló initially submitted a ballot that did not allow voters to vote to continue the status quo, only giving the option of voting for independence or statehood.
Justice required Rosselló to include the status quo in a revised ballot, which he did, but the DOJ said it would not have enough time to review the revised ballot before the plebiscite.
There might be some complications that could lead to Puerto Rico not being a state, but otherwise the territory seems guaranteed for statehood. I'm wary of it.

I know literally nothing about Puerto Rico, what is the population there like and how do they usually lean politically? Are they based Latinfags like Cubans, or Mexico-tier garbage?

If they vote yes will they add a star and ruin the current flag?
