D.C. Voting, Golf, ICE Gloves, and Travel Chaos | Washington DC News

Thirty-four D.C. Democrats are rallying against the DNC’s plan to ban ranked choice voting — a system already mandated by law and backed by over 200,000 voters — risking costly legal battles as the vote looms August 15. Meanwhile, construction begins September 1 on a luxury golf course atop a sinking artificial island in East Potomac Park, ignoring flood risks and the land’s original public park purpose. ICE is also eyeing $20 million for electric-shock gloves, sparking civil rights alarm over accountability. Travelers to National Airport on Aug. 23 face flight delays and road closures due to the Freedom250 Grand Prix. With 83 days until midterms, change may be just around the corner.
