US set to have 51 states

Postby Homer » Wed Nov 07, 2012 1:18 pm

Voters in Puerto Rico have supported a non-binding referendum to become a full US state.

The measure will require approval from the US Congress, but President Barack Obama has said he will respect the vote.

Pretty big news. You guys are gonna need a new flag. Do you think this is a good idea?

Nice. That means Canada is no longer the 51st State right?

Let's slow this down a second. PR has 3 million + population. So aside from 2 new senators that's also a bunch of congressional seats and electoral votes. Something tells me politics may obstruct admission to statehood.

I eagerly await the arguments against statehood. Like a hawk awaits rabbits.
