Where is DC?

They do get 3 electoral votes you know.

Did you roll those three votes into Maryland, eliminate them entirely (which throws off the 271-270 calculation), or what?

I know the District is denied Congressional representation, but its probably not right to deny them their electoral votes.

I am pretty sure we rolled it into Maryland. You need 270 votes to win.

That seems weird.

It was a map-display choice. With all the icons that could be displayed on a state, we had to make "Extended" versions of the smaller New England states. These are all on the coast, where-as WashingtonDC is inland, making it tough to make an extended version that makes sence to the user. It just made more sense to roll those electoral votes into Maryland and make the process easier
