Washington D.C. was carved out of land donated to the national government by Maryland and Virginia. It is under federal jurisdiction but it has petititoned to become a state. Its citizens have the right to vote for President (1961) and it has a member in the House of Representatives. It has limited self government but remains a "district" of the federal government. And it also has 3 Electoral Votes in the Electoral College.
