Senate Set for Key Vote on D.C. House Representation

WASHINGTON (Fox News) — It's the furthest a District of Columbia voting rights bill has made it since 1978, but whether it will make it any further is far from assured.

The Senate is poised on Tuesday to cast votes on a bill that would add two seats to the House: one in the Democrat-heavy District, and one in Republican-heavy Utah. The bill already has passed the House. If signed into law, it would give the District its first-ever full voting member of Congress.

They should shrink the size of D.C. to where it only covers the federal buildings & monuments and give the rest to the state of Maryland... That would solve the problem.
