    As a resident of the west coast I was confused for a good 2 seconds about what my state had to do with this data.

      Dude so I live in Wisconsin which has a capital building that looks identical to the one in DC save for having 2 more wings than DC’s. There’s been news articles that say “such and such happened at the capital” never specify which capital, and have an ambiguous photo that could be either DC or Madison, and I just have to shrug and go “I guess I’ll learn later if that’s local news or national”

        The struggle is real! However, if you look closely, the U.S. capitol has a row of oval windows inset in its dome that the Wisconsin capitol does not have.
