Until I got out of the military, and I changed my residence I voted in NY. I got a ballot mailed to me, and mailed it back. I even voted (fro Harry Brown) while I was in the middle east. Voting goes by residency. Generally you are a resident somewhere once you lived there like 6 months. Just make DC a neutral place, you don't attain residency. You continue to pay your initial states taxes, vote in their elections, and gain whatever benefits you get for belonging to that state.
