Bulletin: Appeals Court Rejects GOP Case Against Brown

The District Court of Appeals has rejected the local Republican Party's case against the District Board of Elections which challenged the certification of Michael Brown as an Independent At-Large council member. The party opposed Brown's certification, arguing that he only switched from being a Democrat to an Independent as a means to being elected and therefore violated the spirit of the District's law requiring that at least one of the D.C. Council's four at-large seats go to a minority party.
