WASHINGTON -- Residents of the District of Columbia -- the nation's capital -- today gained the right to vote for president and vice president with ratification of the 23rd Amendment to the Constitution.
Kansas made it official by becoming the 38th state to ratify the measure. The amendment gives district residents the right to cast three electoral college votes.
The final action was taken by the Kansas Legislature which called an emergency session quickly after New Hampshire became the 37th state to approve the resolution.
