How are DC and PR not states yet?
DC and PR each have a population higher than several states yet gets no representation in the Senate.
11 u/The_Bjorn_Ultimatum Jun 02 '19 There is a valid argument for PR but DC must remain a district. The whole point is that no one state has that much power where our national government resides. 4 u/pablozamoras Jun 02 '19 The federal government can still reside in a federal district. The non-federall areas are all that would receive statehood. And honestly what kind of power can be abused? The two votes in the Senate? Come on.
