Washington (CNN)Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican and outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, wrote in Ronald Reagan for president when he cast his 2020 ballot.
"I know it's simply symbolic. It's not going to change the outcome in my state. But I thought it was important to just cast a vote that showed the kind of person I'd like to see in office," Hogan told The Washington Post in an interview released Friday.

Reagan would hate him for it.
Not all property in DC is government owned. Its just subject to DC jurisdiction, just as VA property is subject to VA jurisdiction. Federal property cannot be taxed in any state.
Actually now that I think of it that is yet another reason justifying my proposal. You are correct that if the federal government owns a lot of property then the state will have trouble raising taxes. So expand the size of the state to give it some additional land that can be taxed.
No offense, but you're sounding like a real Dem! LOL.
The Dems are eventually going to make DC a state on their terms if we dont act. The way Im suggesting it should be done, the Dems would pick up two new Senators and the GOP would likely pick up 4 new Senators. Turn the Dems own knife against the Dems.
It’s not a state but it would still get 3 EV’s.
With a constitutional amendment that could be revised.
I suppose with my proposal they would get more EVs. But then the GOP would win VA and MD so wed gain a few.
