Puerto Rico status referendum - June 11

Puerto Rico isn't becoming a state until they fix their financial mess.

And on an interesting note Puerto Rico has had as many republican governors over the past twenty years as WV

No, most of the members from both of the mainstream parties are Democrats. The most right wing of the two is more religiously conservative, but both of them are essentially different wings of the D party, with few exceptions.

Gov. Alejandro Javier García Padilla    Puerto Rico    (2013 - 2017 )
   PDP of Puerto Rico
Gov. Luis G. Fortuño    Puerto Rico    (2009 - 2013 )
   Republican
Gov. Anibal Acevedo Vilá    Puerto Rico    (2005 - 2009 )
   Democrat
Gov. Sila M. Calderon    Puerto Rico    (2001 - 2005 )
   Popular Democrat
Gov. Pedro Rossello    Puerto Rico    (1993 - 2001 )
   New Progressive Party
Gov. Carlos Romero-Barcelo    Puerto Rico    (1977 - 1985 )
   New Progressive Party
Gov. Rafael Hernandez-Colon    Puerto Rico    (1973 - 1977 )
(1985 - 1993 )
   Popular Democrat
Gov. Luis A. Ferre    Puerto Rico    (1969 - 1973 )
   New Progressive Party
Gov. Roberto Sanchez-Vilella    Puerto Rico    (1965 - 1969 )
   Popular Democrat

You're saying the same thing. West Virginia has only had one Republican governor in the last twenty years.

Not helping things is that Puerto Rico is facing population loss on par with what Ireland experienced during the potato famine.

(The hack in me hopes they're moving mostly to Florida and not New York.)

Yeah, mostly to FL. That's why Hillsborough voted the way it did this year. It's leaking into Pinellas too. A ton going to TX and GA as well.

Significant movement to NY also, of course. The Puerto Rico crisis is a big part of why the Bronx is the fastest-growing borough in NYC right now.
