2. "calls for automatic voter registration, statehood for D.C., Puerto Rico."

I just looked and see that PR's population (3.47M) is larger than that of 21 other states. On that alone, yes, it is time they became a state.

And DC has a population of 0.705M, a population larger than both Wyoming and Vermont. Time for DC to be a state too!
