DC to Hold Emergency Vote to Get Bernie Sanders on Democratic Primary Ballot

www.nbcwashington.com...

The D.C. Council will hold an emergency vote to put Bernie Sanders' name on the Democratic primary ballot after the D.C. Democratic Party submitted registration paperwork a day late and a voter filed a challenge.

The D.C. Board of Elections determined the board cannot certify Sanders for inclusion on the June 14 primary ballot because the local Democratic party submitted his name, as well as Hillary Clinton's, one day after the legally binding deadline, sources closes to the board said.

A Democratic voter in D.C. filed a challenge against the Sanders campaign's registration. No complaint was filed against Clinton's registration. The period in which a challenge can be filed has passed.

Bonds said in a memo to Council Chairman Phil Mendelson proposing the vote that parties should be given 24 hours between when candidates register with parties and when parties must submit the registration information to the Board of Elections. Sanders' camp had until 7 p.m. March 16 to register with the D.C. Democrats, but the Board of Elections closed that day at 4:45 p.m.

I'm so confused by this story but my BS detector is going off. So, the Dems send both Clinton and Sanders paperwork late but only one democratic voted filed a challenge against Bernie? Like for real? How the hell did this voter even know what was going on if both campaigns didn't? And speaking of that, shouldn't they have been on top of this paperwork? It's seems kind of important but maybe no one ever thought one lone voter would file a challenge?

Either way, dirty politics is afoot and I smell a rat named Clinton!

OMG!

How many delegates does DC even have? It would be a complete catastrophe if Bernie weren't on the ballot and missed out on those 2 delegates.

I bet they have indeed.



This one is fishy.

In this race every delegate counts. He swept last round and Clinton is nervous. 15 are up for grabs along with 23 super D's.

Remember that DNC server scandle that landed on Sanders? The staffer who peeked into Clinton's info has a long history with Clinton.

Hilary would NEVER be involved in illicit activity!

Surprisingly, they have 46! Not a negligible number.

On the OP, I'm surprised someone didn't protest Hillary on the ballot just to balance this out a bit.

Damn there's 46? What the hell was I reading when I came up with 15?

I think I'm reading this right. Admittedly the 46 is a combo of pledged and unplugged, but the way the DNC does their primaries confounds me. The GOP has traditionally been a bit more straightforward, at least until this cycle when they started doing things ridiculously, too.

Good lord!

I stand corrected I never thought a little place like DC could have that many delegates. It was probably the best place to find corrupt people to be 'super delegates'. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than DC.
