LinkLinks New York Magazine: Actually, D.C. Is Full of ‘Real People’ By Editor On Jul 2, 2020 Last updated Jul 2, 2020 34 Share The people of Washington, D.C., want congressional representation. They have wanted it for a long time, and have said so in explicit terms. In 2016, a district-wide referendum in favor of statehood passed with 78 percent of the vote. Because these voters have no congressional representation, lawmakers have little incentive to heed them — and indeed, most of them haven’t. D.C. still isn’t a state, its residents still have no voting representation in Congress, and only recently has it looked like anything will change. 34 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
