I had no idea how close past votes were (shame on me for not looking into it). According to that article, 50% said "none of the above" while 46.5% wanted statehood and only 2.5% wanted independence. I didn't think there were that few people that wanted independence. I guess my perception of that was skewed by a few of dad's uncles who are very much in favor of independence, ha

Anywho, I think having more options is going to change some outcomes...should be interesting to see!
