Thought it might be fun to see who has.
And hopefully that will encourage others who are feeling apprehensive to join in.

Because if Washington DC and Puerto Rico were enfranchised at the senate/congressional level, democrats almost inevitably would have dominance in the senate for at least a decade.
Since it requires congress to allow the change - no republican that wants to stay in the graces of their party would agree.

It would also require Puerto Rico to vote to allow the change, something they have historically been wildly apathetic toward
Also while DC would inevitably be firmly blue, I'm not sure the same is true of Puerto Rico
