Puerto Rico status referendum - June 11

[cinyc]

Ugh, the whole point of the referendum is that it would be a final, binding vote on statehood or independence. No more of the territorial limbo!

And why not?  If Puerto Ricans want their Commonwealth to remain a territory, why should we stop them from doing so?    The choice isn't binary.

The commonwealth option got fewer votes than statehood in the last referendum, so it's clear that Puerto Rico doesn't support it.

Nothing is clear until the votes are cast this time, not last time.  Not giving voters the option to keep the status quo seems just wrong, to me.  No change should be an option.
