question, do we have 50 or 51 states?

[madeupfacts]

I count 50 states, but if u count D.C, it is 51 states.
Now Y isn't D.C count as 1 of the states?
It has 3 electrol votes so it should count
http://www.fec.gov/pages/elecvote.htm

shouldn't it be 51 states?

 

[randal]

Because it is a district, not a state.

DC isn't a state
It isn't in a state
Therefore it isn't part of the United States

We should declare war on DC

Look at a flag. Count the stars. When you finish, I suggest taking your own life, or at least selling yourself into slavery.

You forgot Puerto Rico!

What about Pluto ?

It has electoral votes because you can't tell the people who reside there that they cannot vote.

And Guam, American Somoa, and probably a few others.

The reason why DC was made was so the nation's capitol would NOT be in a state, which would potentially give that state more pull. So it's a non-state.

... oops.

 

[Baked]

You forgot Iraq and Israel.

I could qualify as a state since it is no longer considered a planet 😉

I'm sorry, but there is no excuse for not knowing that DC isn't a state. They didn't put in the caveat that it isn't a state but has electoral votes because they thought that anyone who held citizenship and could read would be educated enough to know that.

I think we're down to 49. I read somewhere that the Mexican flag now flies over California.

Who says I don't know D.C isn't a state. Read my original post Mr. Lifer. I state that under the 50 state count everybody recognize that D.C is not counted as a state, but obviously this government website has them listed as a state.

Uh this is not the History Channel. 😉

48 states are all I will ship to, and to Washington D.C.
