The required deposit came about because Trump failed to pay an $81,837 bill from a campaign event he held at the Tucson Convention Center in 2016.

They should subtract that many votes from the corresponding states
Imagine half a million MN votes and half a million TX votes just evaporating
And whichever state DC residents’ votes count for is probably blue already
God, imagine if everyone in the US got to vote for things. Wouldn’t that be nice? Yeah, but DC doesn’t have reps. They have one “delegate” for the house (no voting rights) and nothing for the senate. They can vote for their mayor, city council, and US president. End list.
That is seriously fucked up
The dc statehood movement is gaining momentum of late
I just looked up the steps to admit a new State, and, uh, technically it’s almost as easy as passing a law. No supermajority or consent of the existing States required. A president Harris and a blue congress could just. . . do it. . .I guess?
I hope I am missing something.
The DC Mayor position is so corrupt usually. Anyone old enough to remember Marion Barry? I don’t know who it is now but last time I lived in DC the mayor was Vincent Gray and he even looked corrupt. He looks like Snidley Whiplash and Joe Jackson (Michael’s dad) had a baby.
Which state to their presidential votes get lumped in with, VA?
They have three electoral college votes, so they don’t get lumped in with anyone. That’s the only federal representation they have.
