How does DC get 3 electoral votes?

I don't like it, probably passed through congress and not a constitutional amendment...

Wyoming has a population of 568,158, and DC has a population of 617,996, so I suppose it's reasonable.

I suppose a few of our Republican "friends" voted for it.

DC got 3 electoral votes as a result of the 23rd Amendment. The first time DC got electoral votes was in the 1964 election.

That amendment awards DC electoral votes as if it were a state, but not more than the least populous state.

So it was a constitutional amendment.

Some want to make DC a state. Can you imagine that? There would be 2 automatic liberal Democrat senators always, plus a liberal Democrat congressman always.

23rd Amendment
The Twenty-third Amendment (Amendment XXIII) to the United States Constitution permits citizens in the District of Columbia to vote for Electors for President and Vice President. The amendment was proposed by Congress on June 17, 1960, and ratified by the states on March 29, 1961. The first Presidential election in which it was in effect was the presidential election of 1964. Prior to the passage of the amendment, residents of Washington, D.C. were forbidden from voting for President or Vice President as the District is not a U.S. state. However, they are still unable to send voting Representatives or Senators to Congress.

The amendment restricts the district to the number of Electors of the least populous state, irrespective of its own population. As of 2011, that state is Wyoming, which has three Electors. However, even without this clause, the district's present population would only entitle it to three Electors. Since the passage of this amendment, the District's electoral votes have gone towards the Democratic candidates in every presidential election.[1]

"Wyoming has a population of 568,158, and DC has a population of 617,996, so I suppose it's reasonable. "

Naw, DC is too small in acreage and oil/gas production to count separately from MD.
