Biddle challenges own registration

Washington, D.C. – In the Weaver campaign’s ongoing efforts to review the registrations that the Sekou Biddle campaign has challenged, most of which have turned up valid, the Weaver campaign came across Biddle’s registration as one that is being challenged by Biddle’s own campaign.
 
“This went from a curious challenge, due to the registrations of obvious D.C. voters that were being pointed out as faulty, to downright strange,”  said Bryan Weaver, candidate for the open At-Large seat on the Council of the District of Columbia and one of three candidates whose petitions the Biddle campaign is challenging. 
 
“When we came across Biddle’s registration as one that is being challenged by his own campaign – it is hard to say that with a straight face – it became very clear, if it wasn’t already, that this challenge was completely random and not well thought out. We are still taking the challenge very seriously as it is part of the democratic process.  But the fact that the candidate who is leading this challenge, challenged his own voter registration, really leaves one to wonder if a simple petition challenge is this haphazard and sloppy, how will they govern?”
