As of 0303 AST, with 82.59% reporting and 84.94% participating, 53.82% of voters in Puerto Rico are against the current status, and 61.88% are for statehood (The second issue offered three options for not being a territory: Statehood, Sovereign Free Associated State, & Independence). Results are found here: Link 1 Link 2 It's all up to congress now, but I don't see it failing. That said, all of the US B-sides will have to be changed.

It doesn't matter what the governor thinks. The election results supercede in this case. |

As I understand it this is just an opinion referendum not a vote for statehood per se. Congress would have to act on it. |
