covered in the other thread. but dc-ers ( dc-ites? marvel at the possibilities ) already has 3 electors, if you make it part of maryland they in fact lose the votes they currently have.
what they don’t have is 2 senators and a rep who can vote. they deserve those 2 senators regardless, but especially seeing as the senate is a being used in an undemocratic fashion to continually block changes that dc residents want.
i personally favor giving all people who are living in us territories – including native territories – voting representation as well, and then let the chips fall where they will.
based on polls, i suspect the country is wildly more left leaning than our government – but give everyone a voice and lets find out.
