Why shouldn't Washington DC have voting rights in Congress?
Isn’t this a classic example of taxation without representation—the very thing the Revolutionary War was fought to end? After all, Washington DC has a population larger than Wyoming. There are 599,687 people in DC and only 532,981 in all of Wyoming. But Wyoming has 2 US Senators and 1 House Member all voting to protect their interests. DC, on the other hand, is allowed 1 non-voting member in the House and no representation in the Senate. How is this fair?
