I was just told in a private message that Puerto Ricans already vote in our elections. I know they have a rep in congress that they elect, but I didn’t think they voted in our national elections.

They don’t vote for POTUS or VP, they have no representation in either House or Senate, except a non-voting Resident Commissioner in the House.

Puerto Rico, being a territory not a state, has no voting representation in Congress and doesn't vote for President. But Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens, and can therefore legally move from Puerto Rico to the mainland where they can vote like every other U.S. citizen.
