[quote=TheManWithAUsername][quote=takoma]To me, the most obvious solution is to make DC a congressional district, electing one representative, and let it vote in MD senatorial elections. Or maybe for one MD senator and one from VA. The problem, of course, is that this would take a Constitutional amendment, whereas statehood merely takes an act of Congress. The GOP would probably oppose it because of whatever excuse they could come up with to avoid having more Dem voters. And MD and VA might resent giving DC influence over their senators. Does anyone out there think the idea makes any sense?[/quote] The basic problem is that the senate makes no sense, so there's no good way to gauge how many senators a new state should get. In that context, I don't see anything but two as very defensible.[/quote]
