[quote=Anonymous]First, DC statehood will never happen, so this is just a theoretical entertainment. Second, the size of the House of Representatives is capped by law at the current 435 members. It is unlikely to be overturned very soon, but in the event that it does, it should be 1 representative and some state, most likely a large Democratic state will lose a representative. But if the 1.05M residents of Montana only have one representative, it is unlikely that the 693K residents of Washington DC would get more than one representative. If you want more information about the history of the current limit of 435 and discussion about representation numbers, check out this page: [url]http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/05/31/u-s-population-keeps-growing-but-house-of-representatives-is-same-size-as-in-taft-era/[/url][/quote]
