I've been thinking about this on and off for the past few because I'm pretty drat sure Puerto Ricans DID vote to become a state last election. If I remember after the vote the ball was in congress's court to get the process rolling (or something). So what happened? Is it really just a matter of congressfolks just not giving enough of a gently caress to put together the legislation before everyone forgot about the whole thing? Or am I just grossly misinformed?

Ferroque posted:On December 11, 2012, the Legislative Assembly of Puerto Rico enacted a concurrent resolution to request the President and the Congress of the United States to respond diligently and effectively, and to act on the demand of the people of Puerto Rico, as freely and democratically expressed in the referendum held on November 6, 2012, to end its current status as a territory and to begin the process to admit Puerto Rico to the Union as a state.[1] Argh. "Hmm. Puerto Rico voted for statehood. Think we should make them a state?" "Do we HAVE to? I have an appointment with my chiropractor in an hour." "Well, how about we propose another referendum to them asking 'Are you SURE you want to be a state?'" "I like that idea. You want to draw up the papers?" "Are you kidding? My day is packed, I have nearly a dozen lobbyists in line to suck my dick and that's just this afternoon." "Well, drat. Ain't nobody got time for this Puerto Rican poo poo. Let's just ignore it and if anybody asks we'll just keep saying 'we're working on it' until nobody remembers." "Now that's a plan. It's a lot cooler having exactly 50 states anyhow."
