In Reply to: Statehood for DC posted by pictureguy on April 22, 2021 at 10:52:54:
Let the people of D.C. have the same kind of representation that every other major city gets, no more, no less. And by taking statehood off the table, we avoid the big fight over Democrat vs. Republican balance in the Federal government. There's zero chance of ratification by the states if the amendment shifts the red/blue balance in the House, Senate, and Electoral College. But if the amendment only shifts the balance in one state, it has a chance of ratification.
