OP
Puerto Rico first, then Guam, then VI. And there are interesting questions about Cherokee Nation.

Your right of course, but I was thinking about territories. (Guam has more population than US VI)

She needs to be a legit representative.

(11,949 posts)4. I have a serious question. Does PR want to be a state?
Not to mention the Virgin Islands.
If they are in favor Im all for it. But not if it is by a real small percentage. 60% in favor, ok. 52%, I have reservations because that could swing back the other way.

and the difficulty the mayor had on Jan. 6 that she wouldnt have had if she were a governor makes a compelling case. The population is larger than that in several states, too.
