It won’t make any difference in Maryland and we’ll get two more democrat senators. No thanks.

Laughable. They're the capitol, when would they ever vote against themselves?

The Founding Fathers didn’t intend for government workers to be voting, for obvious reasons, hence why they declared Washington, the nation’s capital, to be in a special district. Had they known our present situation, D.C. would’ve taken in all of Montgomery, Prince Georges, Howard, and Charles Counties in MD along with Alexandria and Arlington (initially included in the original D.C.), Fairfax, Prince William and Loudoun Counties in VA.

BTW, if Fairfax County’s vote alone was removed and nothing else in VA, Trump wins the state. Removing the 4 counties in MD and Hillary wins but narrowly (though adding the disgruntled GOP Johnson votes and Trump wins).

Just hope Tipton Co doesn’t go with it, I live in Atoka and don’t want stuck to Memphis, bad enough all my medical is in Memphis. That sucks, no real medical in Atoka.

I’ve got a ENDO, Primary later this month, Neurologist next, and Neuro Cornea in Dec. All because of their crap prescription drugs and Physio destroying my back and pinching nerves all up and down my spine. Nothing will fix it, and I’m not taking any more of their CRAP dangerous drugs. They will crumble my spine if they touch it. Now DUMBO restricted my Pain med. And is set to artificially create shortages of it and other pain meds.

What galls me most is not one of them will let me CCW in their offices, but they let in coughing, sneezing germ carrying idiots doused with a gallon of perfumed body wash, sprays etc and I’m allergic to that crap. Maybe I should start wearing a mask, that has YOUR SMELLY STUFF MAKES ME SICK to make a point their smelly stuff makes me sick. Hubby would have a cow he doesn’t like to rock the boat.
