D.C. Statehood
I don't spend a lot of time worrying about the problem of D.C. statehood, but it does occur to me that it is ENTIRELY FUCKED UP that there are at least two, and probably far more, residents of D.C. living in public housing who happen to be rich enough to maintain "residences" elsewhere, and have the money to fly home and vote in every election in their respective "residences" even though they live in D.C. for all but six vacation weeks of the year.
Maybe the solution is to allow other D.C. residents to declare a "residence" in a state of their choosing, the way we allow military personnel to do so. They can be like the lost tribe of Israel or something. They can declare residence in battleground states, and be lobbied by each party to do so.
I'm all about thinking outside the box.
