Puerto Ricans opt for Statehood in referendum

So, it appears that Puerto Rico is telling the United States that they want to become the official 51st state of America.

My concern is that how will the flag change in order to account for the new state if Obama and the Congress passes it? I bet they will have a contest to make the best new American Flag and go down in history, replacing the person that last made the official flag.

I wonder what the outcome of this will be?

First world problems.
 
Okay, the star thing isn't really my main concern.

It'll just be....weird. Hawaii was the last state to become a state in over 60 years. It will be so weird to say that America as 51 states, and how everyone will just adjust to it. It'll make the next election more interesting. It'll just...take a while to get used to it.

Though I hope that they become a state. I think that it would be awesome to have them officially apart of the United States.
 
Ah darn. Fifty was such a perfect number, too. It made a nice round 100 senators. Couldn't they just add it to Florida or Louisiana.

Nah, just kidding. I've always wanted to be alive during the adding of a state.
