[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can Maryland and Virginia residents also vote in DC elections?[/quote]No.[/quote]
If non-citizens can them why not non-residents?

For example, if you’re a suburban commuter it’s basically the same as being an “undocumented non-resident”. Since they also pay a lot of taxes in DC it seems only fair. [/quote]
You realize that many non-citizens are documented, right? [/quote]

Suburban commuter who are US citizens, permanent residents or valid visa holders are documented too. They also pay taxes to the DC government. They equally deserve a voice. [/quote]

You can’t have legal residency in two states. Nor are suburban commuters directly taxed by the District of Columbia.

Try again.

If you’re undocumented, how can you prove legal residency in DC? [/quote]

The same way everyone else who lives here does.

A process that I suspect you are not familiar with.[/quote]
