A New Congressional Seat for Utah?

By Chad Pergram

Washington, DC – Utah could earn more sway in Washington if Congress approves a plan to give the District of Columbia a seat in the House of Representatives. Currently, Washington, DC is alloted three electoral votes in the electoral college, but doesn't have a vote in the house...or two senators. This is a compromise that stops short of granting the nation's capital statehood. Chad Pergram reports from our Capitol Hill bureau.
