Florida was the key state in 2000 where the vote was close and subject to controversial recounts.
No, Because Washington DC first used its new voting powers in the election of 1964, and the only close race since then was 2000, in which Al Gore (D) had less electoral votes. Therefore, DC could not have affected the outcome with their votes.

Gore to end the recount, giving Bush the victory in Florida and thus the presidency.
