Best thing when you're not into private wars is not to take part in them. "It's easy if you try". Of course sometimes it's the trying that is hard.

I imagine that the proposed act Joe recommends is only too liable to come unstuck with the Supreme Court you are stuck with. Skimming through the summary of that link to it there are so many elements in it that it won't be too hard for a Supreme Court which is liable to be hostile to strike it down.

Something simpler might have more chance. How about some law requiring that there should be a place for voting within walking distance of everybody?

And why complicate matters by including statehood for Washington DC in a wider act? Surely that's a pretty simple measure that just needs the Senate to vote for it?
