There is no need to 'make a copy of the attribute table' of the sp
object. Instead, you should be able to do:

 library(sp)
 # From https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/cbf/cbf_state.html
 states  <- readOGR(dsn = "./cb_2014_us_state_5m.shp", layer =
"cb_2014_us_state_5m")
 states <- merge(states, counts)
 states <- states[-which(states$STUSPS == "PR"),]
