    Correct. Right now it's 3. The 23rd Amendment grants 3 Electoral Votes to DC. If Congreff made a new state out of DC, then those 3 votes would need to be removed from what's left of DC with a Constitutional Amendment. DC Statehood is Unconstitutional anyway as it's a Federal District made from land ceded from Maryland. Precedent has already been set when land was ceded back to Virginia and that's what would need to happen again (back to Maryland)----if anything at all.

    No. You have already admitted that the reason is to give Democrats more power.

  4. D.C. taxes are significantly higher than VA and MD so do not be so sure if your argument is based on taxes haha

    No I don't believe they would. ---I'm not a Republican, but I don't think they would take that step.

    And states that number can be changed.

    the district can never have more electors than the least-populous state.

    I didn't say I supported DC Statehood for one reason only.

    You and Atlantic have indicated that the reason for DC Statehood is to help Democrats. Atlantic admitted it by stating that Republicans would do it if the shoe was on the other foot. ---That is the only reason as there is no benefit to The Union by admitting DC as a state. It's unconstitutional anyway.
