Still, they had an outsize voice: 1,059 D.C. Republicans voters netted 10 delegates for Rubio. Compare that to the 159,802 Alabamans who voted for Rubio and earned him one delegate.

Local Republicans could well win a seat on the D.C. Council on April 23. Considering the toxic national brand they have to associate with, that’s no small feat.
