Challenge raised against having Bernie Sanders on DC primary ballot

A challenge has been raised against having Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on the ballot for the Democratic primary in the District.

The District of Columbia's Board of Elections website says the challenge was filed March 24 by an individual, Robert Brannum. That was one day after the board posted a list of Democratic candidates for Washington's last-in-the-nation primary on June 14.

Brannum, a schoolteacher, is a former president of the D.C. Federation of Civic Associations. He didn't immediately respond to a voicemail or email from The Associated Press requesting comment.
