Gaga Monster 13,001 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 According to the Wall Street Journal, 97 percent voted for statehood, though turnout was only about 23 percent. Puerto Rico's governor will choose two senators and five representatives to go to Washington, D.C., to request statehood. President Trump signaled during his presidential campaign that he is open to Puerto Rico officially becoming a state. http://thehill.com/homenews/news/337347-puerto-rico-votes-in-favor-of-statehood GGD Presidential Elections Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
