Puerto Rico, the 51 state?

After the November elections, the American territory of Puerto Rico could become the 51 state in the country. Residents will be able to vote on whether they would like to remain a territory, become its own country, or merge into the United States to become the 51 state. Some believe that it will shift the balance of power in Congress, as Puerto Rico would gain two senators and one representative in the House. Citizens are pretty divided as far as their options are concerned.
