        If only 20% of the people voted, how can they even have a case?

        Who said 20%? Did you know that UPR closed with less than votes? Give me a break

        PR is basically a US state already, considering the massive resource and financial dependence it has on the US. Taxes and reps and all that.

        This is why you don't boycott elections. Imagine if the 80% had turned out like usual and those opposing statehood voted NO!

        Know why the right doesn't want PR to be a state? Brown people! Brown people with voting rights.
