It was my understanding that nobody was making a big deal about the Puerto Rico thing because 1. So many voters didn't even select any option on the question 2. The incumbent mayor who was pro-statehood was not reelected in favor of another mayor who is not as big on the statehood issue. There was also something about Texas and California losing representation (I am bad with politics but I try; I think it was in the House of Reps but there might have been something about the electoral college too) if PR became a state, so other states might not be so gung-ho about it
