D.C. Dem Party filed Clinton's & Sanders' ballot registrations late. Only Sanders' was challenged!

Bernie Sanders Not on DC Ballot After Democratic Party Registration Error

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders' name is not on the primary ballot in Washington, D.C., after the D.C. Democratic Party submitted registration paperwork a day late and a voter filed a challenge, News4 has learned.

The Sanders’ campaign, as well as Hillary Clinton's campaign, each 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 email the candidates' registration information to 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 Democratic voter in D.C. filed a challenge against the Sanders' campaign's registration. No complaint was filed against Clinton's registration.

I'm sure you're going to want this fixed fast, as someone could legally challenge your candidate's ballot appearance just as easily.
