In an effort to garnish more Democrat votes, three weeks ago, a Senate committee heard testimony on a bill that could bring Puerto Rico a step closer to becoming the 51st state. The Puerto Rico Democracy Act of 2010, which passed the House in late April, would grant the territory’s residents a vote on the island’s political status, with options including statehood or independence.
If Puerto Rico were to become the 51st state federal law requires that a new star be added to the American flag. So where would it go? This widget, in which you can enter a number of states from one to a hundred stars, may give us the answer.
