I wanted to put a trivia question out there, but I couldn't think of a way to word the question without giving the answer. My question would have been, out of the 50 states and Washington DC, which is the only one to have never voted Republican? The answer is Washington DC. The 23rd amendment gave DC electoral votes in 1961 and they've never once voted for the Republican candidate. Even in the lopsided election of 1984, Washington DC (along with Minnesota) cast the only votes for Mondale.
And no state has ever gone its entire electoral history without voting for a Democrat at least once.

I'm proud of my state for voting Mondale in that 1984 election! (yeah, I know, home state advantage and all that, but still.)
