DC to April 3

Slightly contrary to the immediately prior post, Washington DC mayor, Vincent Gray, signed B19-90 on Wednesday, April 27, moving both the presidential primary and the primaries for district-wide offices to the first Tuesday in April. The mayor had acted on Wednesday unbeknownst to FHQ -- and other media outlets -- but the DC Council's web page for the legislation had yet to be updated to reflect that as of Thursday of last week.

DC, then, moves to April 3, 2012.
