But that would shift the election in favour of the Democrats...

Yes - if the GOP can't survive more proportional representation, they shouldn't.

Potentially. Puerto Rico is also a religious state.

Religious doesn't MEAN republican, just so happens to be one of the things that usually indicates a Republican.

I know plenty of smart religious people who are democrats. Most of the draw for the US is Christian nationalism (aka white supremacy) that I think won't work on most in PR.

There is nothing christian about republican policies. Most Black folks are christian and vote dem in overwhelming numbers.

You say white supremacy like a bunch of latino men don't vote republican.

Lol no. There are no absolutes when humans are involved.

Most latinos are religious, or from religious areas, and, I would wager, most are pretty conservative in a lot of ways. However they, as a majority, go for the democratic party.
