anyone think if Puerto Rico becomes a state we could get a larger House of representatives for good. I guess they would raise it however many seats (5?) until the next census then reappoint all 435 seats in 2020. But several states would lose seats. Could there be enough support to raise it. I guess you would have support to raise it to 440 if Puerto rico got 5 seats, but what about even more like 500 seats. One of the problems I see is I doubt the American people would support it. Anyone know how many seats they would get and what states would lose most likely lose seats if they just reappointed to 435 in 2020.
