Did I read that right?

2016 United States presidential election in the District of Columbia[21] Party Candidate Running mate Popular vote Electoral vote Swing Count % Count %
Democratic Hillary Clinton of New York Tim Kaine of Virginia 282,830 90.86% 3 100.00% 0.05%
Republican Donald Trump of New York Mike Pence of Indiana 12,723 4.09% 0 0.00% 3.19%


Hillary won by 86%, so yes...DC is as safe for the Dems as rural Alberta is for the Conservatives. Which is one of the main reasons that Republicans have not seriously considered any calls for statehood for DC. It would mean 2 Dem senators.
