INTRODUCTION
Good evening. I'm calling from WPAi, a national public opinion firm. This evening we're conducting a short scientific
survey in the District of Columbia and we'd like to get your opinions.

RECORDING ONE
1. Thinking about the November 2018 general election for Mayor, City Council, and various other state and
local offices, do you plan to vote in this election? Press one for likely, press two for fifty-fifty, press three for
unlikely, or press four if you are unsure.

1. Likely 93%
2. Fifty-Fifty 7%
3. Unlikely Terminate
4. Unsure Terminate

RECORDING TWO
2. Residents of the District of Columbia are the only U. S. citizens taxed by Congress without their consent.
While Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories also lack voting representation, they are exempt from U. S.
income taxation. Knowing this, do you agree that DC residents should be exempt from federal income
taxation until Congress grants them voting representation and political rights equal to those of the fifty
states? Press one for yes, press two for no, and press three if you are undecided.

1. Yes 81%
2. No 14%
3. Undecided 6%
