Rotten borough, depopulated election district that retains its original representation. The term was first applied by English parliamentary reformers of the early 19th century to such constituencies maintained by the crown or by an aristocratic patron to control seats in the House of Commons. Just before the passage of the Reform Act of 1832, more than 140 parliamentary seats of a total of 658 were in rotten boroughs, 50 of which had fewer than 50 voters. See also pocket borough.

Sounds exactly like DC. Every day I'm thankful Atlas Blog is graced with such uncommon wisdom.

If anything it’s a rotten borough it’s Wyoming

Yup. DC is something like 20% larger than Wyoming, is growing, has the densest population and plays host to a huge amount of American jobs, culture, and education.

Wyoming is mostly empty and has one (1) bachelor's degree granting institution.

As a follow up, here are the Democrats who voted against.
Bit of a surprising list, including some centrists like Pat Ryan and, from what I can tell, a significant cross-ideological percentage of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus either voted no or abstained.
