On Monday the Supreme Court rejected an appeal that asked for Puerto Ricans to have the right to vote for president. According to Attorney Gregorio Igartua, who filed the appeal:

For 107 years and 22 presidential elections since Puerto Rico became part of the United States, the American citizens of Puerto Rico have an inferior type of American citizenship.

Puerto Ricans, who are born as citizens of the U.S., cannot vote in presidential elections and their congressional representative cannot vote. The only way Puerto Ricans could get the vote would be if Puerto Rico became a state. The only body who legally can make that happen is the U.S. Congress who has yet to make any move to do so.
