We can vote, and we actively do in city elections and the US Presidency. However we don't have voting representation in Congress since D.C. is not a state. Funny how they treat us as a state in terms of the economy with taxes but otherwise have a problem if we want voting rights.
If you see a D.C. license plate, on the bottom has the words "TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION". That is the voting rights issue we have. We are taxed without having a voice on how much we should be taxed -- the very (or one of many) issue(s) of why we fought to separate from the Kingdom of Great Britain.
