March 21 was the deadline for candidates to file to run in partisan primaries in Washington, D.C. According to the Board of Elections web page, no Republican is running for Delegate to the U.S. House, Mayor, nor Chair of the City Council. However, there is one Republican running for at-large member of the City Council. All parties need 7,500 votes every two years for one of the citywide offices, to remain on the ballot.
The lack of Republican candidates makes it overwhelmingly likely that the Green and Libertarian Parties will poll enough votes in November 2018 to remain on the ballot. The Green Party always polls enough votes in the District of Columbia to stay on, but the only two years the Libertarian Party polled enough votes was 2012 and 2016. The vote test is tougher in midterm years because there are far fewer votes; therefore getting 7,500 votes is more difficult in midterm years.
This sounds like an opportunity for the Libertarian Party and for the Statehood Green Party.
How many loyal cops and military guarding the gerrymander Elephants in the USA regime from the local Donkey hoards in Devil City ???

PR and AppV — even in Devil City
Devil City?
Read my comment I posted on what libertarians should do in a particular illinois u.s. house district. 😉
The USA Republican Party has failed not just USA politics on the city level, but all levels, including global.
They have exploited our democratic values for pure proportional representation (PPR) and caused mass deaths and suffering around the world.
President Bush quoted my words verbatim the day he invaded Iraq “to bring full representation to Iraq …” while bringing war.
Then VP said “no voting system is perfect ” but he was wrong, PPR is perfect. But they didn’t bring PPR to Iraq as you know there is pretty much civil war.
The United Coalition has been bringing PPR to the world since 1992 via internet and the information has been used, not to unite, but to bring war.
In the 7th California Parliament Election of 2018 the United Coalition continues our work and we are demonstrating how easy the vote count is on paper ballots on Earth Day as we can bring the unity phenomena to all.
No political party is able to promote the advanced parliamentary procedures and elections that the United Coalition brings you.
In California, more than half the 59 candidates for Governor and UD Senate have already been emailed about the event and we will be publicising their names.
They who are elected to our team, we expect to grow with them and their free speech rights, equal treatment and equal time is encouraged, under PPR.

See 1929-1933 tariff taxes trade wars — ONE result — HITLER in control in Germany Jan 1933 – Apr 1945.
Another result – Military killers in control in Japan in 1931-1945.
