The first link, in keeping with the original topic, says PR would be just above Iowa at #30.
I am assuming the numbers at those links are permanent residents.
If Wyoming and Vermont get two senators with fewer residents to represent I don't see why DC could not.
And I'm not even arguing for statehood for them. I'm not smart enough to know the best way to get them the representation I think they should have as citizens. I'm just saying that if we give states two senators and DC becomes a state and they get two senators they are in line with the bottom five states population wise.
This is a facile argument as D.C. is not a state. I don't care if their population was 15 million, it wouldn't change that fact. You're raising an irrelevancy with the population argument.
