[quote=Anonymous]The eventual solution is for most of DC to retrocede to Maryland. DC would keep its municipal government, but MD would provide state services. DC would get one voting representative, and vote with other Maryland citizens for US Senate. MD is basically a blue state anyway, so it wouldn't upset the balance of power on Capitol Hill. DC would also get delegates in the MD general assembly. There's precedent, when the former VA piece of DC rejoined Maryland. I know that the die-hard DC politicos wouldn't like it, with their dreams of further power and patronage, but it's the best and most workable solution for voting rights. And it could be done by simple legislation, not through approval by the states or constitutional amendment.[/quote]
