2010 EV seat after the DC bill is passed

[Nixon in '80]

DC, aside from the areas immediately surrounding the White House, the Capitol Building, and certain national monuments should be annexed by Maryland.

It solves everything, it's fair, DC residents would also gain representation in the Senate, and I've never heard an argument against it.

Does anybody have one?

Yeah, but that doesn't mean it's not the best solution.

Well I really don't care about D.C. pride... they'll still be a city, and they can still consider themselves a separate cultural entity... I don't care.

D.C. has never really had self-government... sure, since 1973 they've had most of the privileges of a city, but I don't see how being subordinate to Congress is better than being subordinate to Maryland.
