41% of the vote is in and all the numbers are holding up. We can expect 500k+ votes. Statehood still holding up at 97%


If this holds up the republicans are just going to have to give it to them!

@At this point most of the Republicans would want to cut them loose. That is the majority opinion on Twitter as well as the various hell no and moochers comments. Almost Roman if you think about it. You will be ruled and like it!

Mississippi is very poor and in many ways in nearly the same condition. I'd rather cut them loose.

You want to cut people like me off?

No,

But that is the excuse the conservatives are using against Puerto Rico...Too poor,

This will be the second time in the past decade that Puerto rico has said yes to statehood.

Abstentions and/or blank ballots do not count as votes, but that would be an easy excuse to avoid even taking up a vote in Congress on statehood.

The parties that are choosing to absent from the vote have made their bed. This is one of the only cases I've ever seen where the election seems to not matter.

Time to make it a state....
