District of Columbia Election Law Permits Republicans to Nominate Candidates by Party Meeting, After the Primary is Over

There are no Republicans on the District of Columbia 2018 primary ballot for districtwide partisan office. However, the District’s election law and the Republican Party rules permit the party to nominate candidates for such offices after the primary is over, via party meeting. Therefore it is very likely that Republicans will appear on the November 2018 ballot for D.C. partisan districtwide office. An earlier post suggested that the Republican Party might not have any nominees on the November ballot, but that was almost certainly mistaken. Thanks to Pat McConnell for this news.
