Presidential
candidate Bernie Sanders' name is not yet on the ballot in D.C. after the D.C.
Democratic Party submitted registration paperwork a day late, News4 has
learned.
The
Sanders’ campaign as well as Hillary Clinton's campaign submitted registration
fees of $2,500 on time earlier this month in advance of the June 14 Democratic
primary.
But
the D.C. Democrats did not notify the D.C. Board of Elections until a day after
the registration deadline of March 16, News4's Tom Sherwood was first to
report on Twitter.
A
D.C. voter filed a challenge against the Sanders' campaign's registration. That
challenge is expected to be heard in early April.
D.C.
party officials called the problem a minor administrative dispute.D.C.
Democratic Party Chairwoman Anita Bonds said the issue may be resolved through
an emergency vote by the D.C. Council, if necessary.
A
Board of Elections representative could not be reached immediately.
