The people of Puerto Rico vote, time and time again, to maintain their territorial commonwealth status rather than opt for independence or statehood, do they not?

Yes, they choose not to be citizens so therefor they should not get the rights as citizens.
Non-citizens should not get the same rights as citizens anywhere in the U.S. OR her territories.

No. See http://wwwcefus.net

And this is not about the political status of the islands. It is about civil rights for U.S. Citizens.
