DC isn't big enough, IMO

Perhaps allowing them representation in the House only would be a good compromise.

I don't think DC is big enough to be a state, but here's what I think:
it's the DISTRICT of Columbia, but what is a district?  How about a constitutional amendment that defines a district as an area that gets voting representation in the house and electoral votes as if it were a state, but no senators?  That way DC has 1 representative and 1 EV.  Congress could make other districts too, like the Virgin Islands and Guam, etc., because they're not really big enough to be states and have 3 EV's, but 1 EV wouldn't be bad.
