If they could vote how many electoral votes would Puerto Rico have?

Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens, but if they were a state, Puerto Rico would have nine electoral votes. This would be based on the state's population of about 3.2 million people, which would rank it 32nd among the states.

Puerto Rico has a long and complex history with the United States. In 1898, the island was ceded to the U.S. following the Spanish-American War. Puerto Ricans became U.S. citizens in 1917, but the island remains a U.S. territory and is not a state. This means that Puerto Ricans cannot vote in presidential elections, and they do not have representation in Congress.

There have been several referendums on whether Puerto Rico should become a state, but none have passed. In 2012, a referendum on statehood failed with 53% of the vote.

The future of Puerto Rico's political status is uncertain. Some Puerto Ricans favor statehood, while others prefer to remain a territory or become independent. The U.S. Congress ultimately has the power to determine Puerto Rico's status, but there is no clear path to statehood at this time.
