How about instead of giving D.C. statehood, we just allow them to annex Montgomery and PG Counties MD and Fairfax County VA.
These three counties surround D.C.. D.C. gets some more power, which is all they want anyway, and the DPRM and VA get to shed some commie territory (though FFX is not as extreme as the other two, at least not yet).
How about DC just seceede from the rest of the country permanently???
Bump
And which party would DC vote for?
Under the constitution, it can’t exceed 10 miles square.
You forgot Harford County, which is under Republican control. It’s pretty normal here
not contiguous to the District
Besides PG and Montgomery, and the several NOVA counties bordering DC, on’t forget Howard County and Baltimore City. Make them one state and leave the rest of us alone. Western Maryland from Carroll County to the west can join West Virginia, and Eastern Maryland can join with Delaware = “Delmar.”
