the 23rd amendment now allows citizens of d.c. to vote in the presidential election and allocates three electoral votes to d.c. also.

all US citizens can vote in presidential elections
the 2004 results in The District of Columbia was 202,970 for Kerry and 21,256 for Bush according to Wikipedia
with these results i think we should not allow them to vote

They are not in a state, as required by the Constitution. I think they now can vote for a representative in congress.
