Why are you surprised?
No, I'm not kidding. This is entirely in keeping with US internal politics.

It's also completely reasonable to state what the plebiscite was on on the page you are reporting about the result so that people who don't know what the vote was about can actually interpret the vote. Instead of trying to draw conclusions out of random noise, like if this plebiscite is about adopting yogurt as the official dessert of Puerto Rico.
Hell if I know why that'd be up for a referendum, but it makes as much sense to me as any other subject with yes and no as the only valid answers.
