Puerto Rico narrowly votes in favor of statehood

Puerto Ricans on Tuesday narrowly voted in favor of a nonbinding measure pushing it toward statehood.
The island territory voted 52%-48% in favor of the ballot measure, according to the Associated Press. About 50% of voters showed up to the polls, up from the 23% who turned out in 2017, the last time the question was put forward.

They don't really want to be a state. They would have to pay federal income taxes which they don't now. Never going to happen.

I'm ok with having 50 states. It's a perfectly rounded number and it would be awkward to have 51 states.

Get rid of California

That's a good option too.

If that happens, it's over unless the populist appeal with Latinos multiplies significantly. They will never lose an election again.

Puerto Rico needs to get their own house in order before they join the union. Crime and corruption is rampant there.
