You know there's a significant Puerto Rican population in New York and Florida, right?

An estimated 5.8 million Hispanics of Puerto Rican origin lived in the United States in 2021

337 million in the US.

I wouldn't call 1.7% spread across 50 states significant.

1.7% is more than enough to flip some swing states. Most swing states.

And two in particular have more than an average number of Puerto Ricans.

So yeah, it matters.

They're not spread across 50 states, there are large population groups in PA, NY, and FL.
