Rothenberg seems to think DC would have a vote if it went to the House. He should read the 12th amendment. A majority of the states is required.

If there is a 269-269 tie, Obama wins. The Democrats or Eric Holder will bribe or blackmail one elector to flip to Obama.

I see, they left that out in the XXIII Amendment. Good move, was it ever proposed?

Aside from the Constitutional issue, I’ve always believed that Eleanor Holmes Norton and Marion Barry were a pretty strong argument against giving DC voting representation in Congress
