If statehood wins, as expected, the island will enact what’s known as the Tennessee Plan, an avenue to accession by which U.S. territories send a congressional delegation to demand to be seated in Washington. Quoting: Goneviral Puerto Rico will send two senators and five representatives, chosen by Gov. Ricardo Rosselló (D), later this year, once the plan is put into action. Statehood remains a long shot as many Republicans are wary of adding a 51st state that could add two Democratic senators and seven Democratic electors to the Electoral College.

Will americans object? Please vote "NO" Puerto Rico. You have rejected offers of statehood many times, even as recent as 2012. The only reason they are trying again is the hope of getting bailed out of all the debt they have amassed. No thanks Puerto Rico. Stay the way you are.
