2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWashington Post: Bernie will be on the ballot.
Another conspiracy? Apparently not as the elections board will fix the problem before certifying the ballot:
Excerpts:
In a statement, Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said he was not worried.
We did what the D.C. law requires in order to get Bernie in the ballot, and we are confident he will be on the ballot, Briggs said.
For her part, Hillary Clinton submitted over 1,000 signatures, and the insurance policy of a $2,500 donation to the party.
But Clintons name is not on the ballot yet either. The elections board wont certify the ballot for the June 14 ballot contest for about another month.
