[NEWS] Washington D.C. votes 79% in favor of becoming state called New Columbia

[Foxscotch]

Wasn't DC designed to not be a state?

the government was also designed for women and black people to not be able to vote. sometimes things change

so during the november 9th presidential election, DC also held a referendum regarding the subject of DC statehood. 79% of voters said YES to becoming the 51st state, named "New Columbia", so now the second step is in motion: for congress to introduce an amendment. will it ever happen? with a republican-dominated congress, most likely not.

More populous than like three-four other states.

OT: I like the name a lot. Me and a buddy theorized what the US would've been called if it wasn't America, and we figured it would be United States of Columbia or some such.
