Which is why they want to include the vote of anyone of Puerto Rican extraction here in the US. They believe they can get enough votes that way to tip the balance.
This is not about what Puerto Ricians want, it about the power to take 6 Congress seats away from Red States and seat 2 new Progressive Democrat Senators.
