I still feel that they should just let DC residents vote in Maryland's elections and extend Maryland's congressional districts into DC.

No, bad idea. Smiley

They should just pass a constitutional amendment giving DC voting rights.

Why is that a bad idea?

Because then D.C. would stop getting so much federal money.

This is the only really constitutional solution. I find it amazing that a Canadian can see this but many of the American posters do not. Are Canadians really that much smarter than Americans? Wink

A constitutional amendment isn't constitutional?
