Actually a lot DIDN'T change. 

It was a legislative trick.


Puerto Rico had a two part ballot.

 

A)  Do you want to change diplomatic status with the US.

Passed with 54%.

B)  Assuming A passes... which of these would you prefer.

Statehood  Passed with 67%(?)

More Autonomy

Independence.

 

 

It'd say it's EXTREMELY likely that the group that favors Statehood still isn't a majority, and that a lot of the voters in the first group were the Seperationists... and that most people would perfer statehood only if forced to give up it's current status.

Yeah, I mentioned that in my last post. Basically, the shitty media is just being lazy so they can get the desired (read: interesting) headline of, "Puerto Rico votes for statehood omgggggg!!!!!!" What else is new?
