Well, admitting territories to the Union only requires a simple majority vote. We win back the Senate and White House then it should be a done deal. 218 and 51 and it's a done deal. No ratification needed.
Millions of Americans visit the nation’s capital every year, but most do not know that our 700,000 residents have no voting rights or self-government.
#DCstatehood would give us those rights – and correct a 218 year historical wrong. My interview with @Morning_Joe today.pic.twitter.com/WichyusiJh

They elect their mayor and members of the city council who manage the city.

"They"? Yes, we do vote for mayor and city council (also for Advisory Neighborhood Commission - ANC - reps). So do the populations of Boston, Albany, Harrisburg, Austin, etc. What's the point?
