Puerto Ricans have been U.S. citizens for a century, but its 3.4 million people are unrepresented in Congress and cannot vote in U.S. presidential elections.

It seems like it should be easy to solve the last half of that sentence. Why shouldn't citizens living in US territory be allowed to vote in federal elections? That would include Guam, and why not other far flung territories that are absolutely part of the US, but far too small to be considered for the normal representation in congress and the senate.

>> Why shouldn’t citizens living in US territory be allowed to vote in federal elections? That would include Guam, and why not other far flung territories that are absolutely part of the US, but far too small to be considered for the normal representation in congress and the senate <<

Easy solution:

Make Guam, the Mariannas and American Samoa into counties of Hawaii.

“Why shouldn’t citizens living in US territory be allowed to vote in federal elections?”

Because the only “federal election” is the voting in the Electoral College, and those electors are selected by a state election. There are no “federal elections” by the general citizenry in this country.

Why shouldn't citizens living in US territory be allowed to vote in federal elections?

Because US Citizens of any kind do not vote in Presidential elections. STATES vote in Presidential elections. PR is not a State. Nor are any other territories. That's why Statehood is a big deal.
