[QUOTE="MAKAVELI, post: 3469713, member: 43825"] [URL="https://www.cnn.com/2017/06/09/us/puerto-rico-statehood-vote-2017/index.html"]Overwhelming support for Puerto Rico statehood referendum - CNN[/URL] Puerto Rico on Sunday overwhelmingly voted for statehood. But Congress, the only body that can approve new states, will ultimately decide whether the status of the US commonwealth changes. Ninety-seven percent of the votes in the nonbinding referendum favored statehood, an increase over the results of a 2012 referendum, official results from the State Electoral Commission show. It was the fifth such vote on statehood. "Today, we the people of Puerto Rico are sending a strong and clear message to the US Congress ... and to the world ... claiming our equal rights as American citizens, Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló said in a news release. [/QUOTE]
