 The Maryland *legislature* gets to vote on DC; the *residents* don't.

So Maryland cannot be compelled to take DC back.

The *DC residents* do get to vote.

Do you have any evidence that their vote is binding?  The constitution seems to be pretty clear that the federal government can do what it wants with DC.
