The Supreme Court on Monday turned away an appeal by Washington, D.C., residents over their lack of voting rights in Congress.
The justices’ move affirmed a lower court ruling that held that D.C. residents are not entitled to voting representation in the U.S. House.
In a brief unsigned order Monday, the justices indicated their ruling was based on a Supreme Court decision from more than two decades ago that found that Washingtonians do not have a constitutional right to a vote in Congress.
