DC voting rights are nonpartisan

DC voters may predominantly vote Democratic, but that's not relevant.  There are Republican and Independent voters as well, and EVERYONE deserves a voting representative in Congress.  The bill also gives an extra representative to Utah, next in line post-census to receive an extra rep, and presumed to vote Republican - so there will be no net Democratic gain in Congress.

And you know this by now, because we've made it very clear every time you post one of these ridiculous comments - the DC Voting Rights Act gives equal representation to the citizens of the District of Columbia, plain and simple.  No one cares what party they are, just that they are American citizens being unfairly denied representation.
