The only difference between both of your lists was one had MN and one had DC. :)

I don’t even know how the DC count works or why it gets electoral votes if it’s not a state.

MN I dont know Nearly enough about but I thought it had a big muzzie population.

DC was given the electoral vote by a Constitutional Amendment in 1961:

Amendment XXIII
Section 1

The District constituting the seat of Government of the United States shall appoint in such manner as the Congress may direct:

A number of electors of President and Vice President equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives in Congress to which the District would be entitled if it were a State, but in no event more than the least populous State; they shall be in addition to those appointed by the States, but they shall be considered, for the purposes of the election of President and Vice President, to be electors appointed by a State; and they shall meet in the District and perform such duties as provided by the twelfth article of amendment.
Section 2

The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
