Just like Puerto Rico and DC?

Puerto Rico and DC don't get to vote in Congressional elections. Well, not for seats that get votes, anyway. But yes, if PR and DC were granted statehood, we'd have 3 or 4 more Democrats in the Senate, and some number of new House districts, the majority of which likely sending Democrats to the House.
