[quote=Anonymous]Yea, this will happen right after statehood for DC and statehood for PR. Right now, the biggest thing impacting DC statehood is the balance in the Senate. But there is no way that ultra liberal DC or NoVa will be getting statehood unless there was a balance in both Senate and House. They've added the option of giving one House vote to DC in exchange for an extra House district in one of the ultra-red states (last time it was Utah, I believe). But they have not been able to offer anything to the other side of the scale for the Senate. You can't increase Senate seats per state, so the only way would be to create an equally conservative extra state opposite DC or NoVa. But, in any event, neither DC nor NoVa are likely to get statehood in our lifetime.[/quote]
