The District of Columbia is not a state. Therefore, it cannot have citizens - only temporary residents. Those temporary residents are citizens of the state in which they resided prior to coming to the District of Columbia. Therefore, they should vote in those states - by absentee ballot if necessary.

14th Amendment:

“Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State ....”

Is it really that hard to understand?
