3. DC is not a state
they do not have representation in Congress (i.e. vote) they have a Delegate in the House, Eleanor Holmes Norton who cannot vote

DC has approximately 600-700,000 residents who do not have a voice in Congress...ergo, taxation without representation

Of course if they did give them the vote, it would most like be Democratic - and the rest you can figure out
