D.C. has always given its electoral votes to the Democrat, since its first participation in a presidential election in 1964.
WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is the projected winner of the District of Columbia’s three electoral votes, according to CBS news.
D.C. is the only non-state to have electoral votes, a right it only gained in 1961 following the ratification of the 23rd Amendment. Since its first participation in a presidential election in 1964, D.C. has always given its electoral votes to the Democrat, with only 5.4% of District voters casting a ballot for Trump in 2020.
There are 538 electoral votes up for grabs in the election. At least 270 would put a candidate at more than 50% of the electoral vote. There has never been a 269-269 tie. If no candidate reaches 270, the presidency would be decided by the House members who are sworn in on Jan. 3. Each state's House delegation would have one combined vote. If a majority of states go to one candidate, that candidate will be president.
