    Retrocede DC to Maryland, as President Polk did to Alexandria & Arlington. If we're going to discuss DC as a state, it should return to its pre-1847 borders.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1137010592152195074 …

    My view: * DC statehood * Puerto Rico statehood * Merge the Dakotas into 1 state * Annex Delaware into Pennsylvania Stay at 50 states! https://twitter.com/FiveThirtyEight/status/1137009438395633665 …

        Also, there is a serious argument with long bipartisan support that DC statehood requires a constitutional amendment (and so would retroceding the whole thing to Maryland or Virginia) http://thf_media.s3.amazonaws.com/1993/pdf/hl461.pdf …

        There's a not a lot of difference between DC and MoCo now.

        I agree with this. Make it a combined city/county, keep the name as District, and just be done with the whole thing. In the real world, a bipartisan consensus could do it without an amendment.

        Montgomery County would happily accept NW DC, but NE? I don't think Prince George's County could afford to absorb it.

        It would have to be its own county anyway.

        Is that fair to Maryland? Oh, I forgot about Baltimore.

        Just retrocede the residential parts. With no more residents, the rump district would not be entitled to electors.
