It's about time this happened.
The D.C. Voting Rights Act has passed through cloture in the Senate, 62-34. It is now a certainty to pass into law.

The act grants D.C. a full voting member in the House of Representatives, a seat which will be held by a Democrat for a long, long, loooong time...
No more "taxation without representation" for the people who live in our nation's capital. Excellent news; Mark Plotkin must be celebrating today. Also, kudos to Tom Davis and Jim Moran for their hard work on this issue over the years.
