Beautiful stuff yubba, will you be attending the lynchings personally or will you wait for the highlights on Brietbart?

On H2(More to History) there's a series "How States got their shapes" Today I saw 1/3 of this episode It was about Washington DC

What catch my ears and eyes was that the habitants in that state doesn't have the right to vote.

This was new to me, I thought that every American citizens in and outside USA had the right to vote in the American Presidential or other referendum.

I bet that's how some of the Folks in England feel,, Lynching is pretty much what the democrats KKK brothern did in the past, they are so desperate to change their history, and it probably won't be long till you folks have public stonings there in Piccadilly Square, will you be attending or will you get the highlights on BBC..., I did say a speedy trial I should have added fare but I wanted to see who'd be the first to take it out of context, we do have a winner,, I remember putting up pictures of communist nazis,, and islamist executing people the moderaters got all upset,,, did those folk get their day in court ???? Yes I can see how the Law and a law abiding people look extreme to criminals.

They may have got it wrong, or you may have misunderstood. What the District of Columbia does not have is representation in Congress. The reason is that after having met in various locations under the Articles of Confederation, the new government under the Constitution decided they didn't want the National Capital to be in any state, so no state could have the bragging rights over all the others. Maryland and Virginia donated land to make the new Capital a giant diamond. Eventually only the northern (Maryland) side was used. Since the District is not part of any state, it doesn't have senators or congressmen.

For a long time the residents of DC could not vote for President. Originally this was because the Constitution specifies that it is the States who vote for President, not the People. The State Legislatures appointed the electors, in any manner they chose. With more and more States having their citizens voting for the electors, it was decided that the citizens of DC should not be excluded, and in 1961 the 23rd Amendment gave DC three Electoral Votes.

Citizens of the District of Columbia have a delegate to the Congress. Though he cannot vote in final lawmaking he can vote on what bills are to be admitted for consideration. They have no Senator, but they do vote for President.

Residents in the District of Colombia do have the right to vote in presidential
elections. They obtained it in 1961, however they don't have representation in congress because the Sole purpose of the District of Colombia is to be the Capitol, it has no other purpose.

Actually Washington DC isn't a state, it's just a District and they do have the right to vote in Presidential elections although they don't have Senators and Congressmen to represent them. In this they join territories such as Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa and a bunch of other small territorial possessions.

Referendums are created by the local state or territorial government and as such are specific to that body. I've never seen a ballot question that was on the ballot in all 50 states.

Taxation without representation as it states on DC license plates. The folks in DC have been fighting that for decades.

That's a good point. She'd be running the risk of becoming a failure cliche' if she lost that one too.

Thank you, Sailor Steve, MaDef and August for helping me understand what I misunderstood in todays episode of How States got their Shapes.

I do hope they have fire extinguishers at the Inauguration at the ready in the event Trump's hand should burst into flames when he puts it on the Bible...
