Sanders reportedly left off D.C. primary ballot after Democratic Party error


Because of an error by the D.C. Democratic Party, Sen. Bernard Sanders’ name is not on the ballot, according to a report by WRC-TV, the local NBC affiliate.

.Both the Vermont senator’s team and the campaign of rival Hillary Clinton submitted the required $2,500 registration fee and other paperwork but the party did not notify the D.C. Board of Elections by a key deadline.

The registration deadline was March 16, but the party did not send the board Mr. Sanders’ registration information until the 17th, according to the affiliate. As a result of this error, Mr. Sanders’ eligibility to appear on the ballot is being contested, WRC explained.

DC Democratic Party Chairwoman Anita Bonds told The Washington Times that the party’s primary-plan, which included the paperwork for all candidates, was submitted by 7 p.m. on the 16th. The D.C. Board of Elections offices closes at 4:45 p.m.

1. speechless!

Geesh!

[cosmicone]

2. He will be on the ballot

This is just dredged up to make Bernie appear to be a fighter against the establishment.

3. You'd think for 800k/mo Devine would be more on top of things.

4. Meh!

5. I wonder who is going to step up and assume responsibility for this problem.

6. This is ridiculous - he should be on the ballot

The Democratic Party made a huge mistake, can you imagine how we Hillary supporters would feel if Hillary was left off the ballot? Hopefully, it can be resolved and soon.

7. It helps if your staff can meet deadlines

8. Oh come on, DC Dems, get your act together.

They have so many fake reasons to cry foul, you don't need to give them a real one.

9. Color me shocked that the Sanders folks want special treatment from the party again ...

It's inexperience. Almost like they are new to the Democratic Party or something.

[Stand and Fight]

10. They need to fix this... DC Democratic Party dropped the ball. Not cool. n/t

11. I can understand them being pissed about this

If the paperwork for both of them was turned in late as the article says, neither should be on the ballot. And the responsibility according to the article is on the DC Democratic Party.
Granted, it is a right-wing source, but the facts as presented are bullshit for Sanders.

I'm also sure it will get sorted in time for him to lose by 60 points in the primary.

12. The optimistic view is that it should be all over by that time anyway. Nothing lost! eom

13. Although the article puts emphasis on the fact that Sanders could be left off the ballot....

....(it IS the Washington Times, after all!), the fact is that the paperwork for both candidates were submitted at the same time. So, any "missed" deadline, and it's doubtful that it was missed anyway since there appears to have been an extension, was missed for BOTH candidates.

Why this is such a big deal ONLY with respect to Sanders is beyond me.
