“Well, there goes D.C.’s three electoral votes!”
Never forget that Barbara Lett-Simmons disenfranchised a third of D.C. voters in the 2000 election.
Barbara Lett-Simmons, a Democratic elector from the District of Columbia, did not cast her vote in order to protest the lack of congressional representation for Washington, DC. Lett-Simmons was the first elector to abstain from voting since 1832.

I appreciate her sticking to her principles. She should get another shot in 2016.
