As the law is currently written US citizens who have left the US permanently can vote for President, Senators, and Representatives via absentee ballot, but DC can only vote for President (and only for less than 50 years).
My view on the DC seat can be seen below. It will be interesting to see if anyone does challenge this bill in the Supreme Court, because of the previous rulings that grant state level rights & responsibilities that may be overturned in the process.
