Question

Why are citizens of washington, d.c. not given voting representation in congress.??

Answer 1

Washington DC is under the District of Columbia. Although The citizens have no representation it is because that is where Congress is located. Congress plays for the representation of the citizens.

Answer 2

The Constitution grants each state voting representation in both houses of the United States Congress. As the federal capital, the District of Columbia is a special federal district, not a state, and therefore does not have voting representation in Congress.
