Puerto Rico status referendum - June 11

[GlobeSoc]

This is very low turnout though, is this very PPD areas reporting?

Why is statehood even being considered given their financial situation?

Why would it not be? These are American citizens we're talking about. We shouldn't even be debating this. It should have been done years ago. And that is without considering that the federal government has played, and continues to play a large part in the financial ruin of Puerto Rico.

We ought to do what is right and provide them the full benefits of a state. No more bs conditions or debate. Make them a state and give them fair representation in the federal govt, or cut them loose entirely.

What would be the path to house/senate majorities for a Puerto Rico statehood bill?

If I had to guess in the senate:
Democrats, party line
Rubio
Collins
McCain

[GlobeSoc]

If Puerto Rico statehood passes the house, here's my guess of who gets it over the top, in no particular order and more or less shooting in the dark:
Dems
Young
ILR
Curbelo
Diaz-Belart
McSally
Hurd
Pearce
Dent
Comstock
Katko
McArthur
Lance
Wagner
Yoder
Coffman
Issa
Roksam
Poliquin
Brooks
Messer
Upton
Trott
King
Stefanik

A lot of these are very implausible though.

Also, when is the Tennessee Plan going to be executed?
