Under said formula, DC should get no more than Delaware, 16. To wit: 10 at large, 3 for each district (even given that the DC rep is non-voting) and 3 for the party brass.

It is a formula which seriously undervalues the performance of the state in delivering electoral votes in November.

Trump, despite all his whining, is playing the system well by steamrolling through the northeast states which will deliver zero electoral votes to the GOP in the fall, with the possible exceptions of Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Maine if it is a nationwide blow-out.
