2. Just to be sure that is the actual outcome

I recommend that someone in D.C. file a similar challenge to Clinton appearing on the ballot. Challenging both candidate's access to the ballot ensures that this problem has the best chance of being fixed. Because this is the first time this has happened, Bonds has no basis for her confidence-there is no precedent for what kind of decision may be the outcome of the challenge. Should both challenges then succeed, both candidates will be eliminated from the ballot, instead of just Sanders, which would be an equitable outcome. I am reminded of Clinton's actions regarding the 2008 Michigan primary and don't believe Sanders should take a unilateral risk like this.
