2020 US election - It Came from Washington DC

[Rajvik]

So... I just heard about the other 2020 U.S. vote

What's the word on the street about the referendum regarding statehood for Puerto Rico? Does anybody who's reading this thread know?

From what I have gathered in conversation with my family on the island the last poll published two days ago puts the result at around 50% pro statehood.

So, same as last time, then.

Do you think Congress will let it go through this time if the vote is yes?

I don’t know. Maybe if DC is made a state as well, judging by past precedent.

DC literally and by the Constitution CANNOT BE MADE A STATE
Its charter was to be a city for the governance of the country outside any state, anyone who "resides" in DC is either a citizen of Virginia, or Maryland. They already have their congress critters and senators
