My understanding is that many Puerto Ricans don't even want statehood.

About 50-60% want statehood, it’s the majority opinion, but a lot of people like not having income taxes

The last vote had a very huge abstention ‘vote’, which was the only reason the ‘for’ vote out performed the ‘against’.

They just want independence iirc

That’s actually a pretty fringe belief on Puerto Rico
