If the 700,000 people want a vote in Congress, they can live in either Maryland or Virginia. I was born and raised in DC. When I moved to Los Angeles and voted for senate, my life did not change at all.

If you want a practical solution to this “problem”, Maryland should just absorb the residential parts of DC (as Virgina did to Arlington) in the 1800’s. But let’s be honest, this is about Senate seats.

Quiet Simply, D.C. Should Be An Incorporated City Of The Great State Of Virginia. No? Last I Checked City-States Went Out In Greco-Roman Times. Yes?

How do you get past the Constitution. "Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 of the document reads, “The Congress shall have Power To …exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States"

“The Congress shall have Power To …exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States.”
