The participation rate was just 23 percent with roughly 2.26 million registered voters, leading opponents to question the validity of a vote that several parties had boycotted. This is crap tactic used in a lot of countries. Boycott a referendum you know you're going to lose, then say it doesn't count because the turnout wasn't [insert arbitrary percentage here].

Make New England 1 state, THEN go for statehood. 6 states become 1, add 1.

Well it’s also non-binding. Basically it’s a formalized opinion poll, which means it had absolutely no validity one way or the other.

I really think it makes it look, to the average person, like 2/3 of the people don't care about statehood.
