More people voted in Washington, DC than the whole of Alaska (try DC = 225,224 vs. Alaska = 216,688 on for size). Heck, Virginia’s Fairfax County (407,232) had way more voters than Alaska. So why do states like Alaska get representation in both the Senate and the House, and DC can’t even get a vote in the House? How unfair….

And to continue my rant against Alaska, I can’t believe that it looks like Ted Stevens will be re-elected. What a world.
