If you happen to be watching cable news today as your primary source of keeping up to date on the election you might not have any idea that there are three primary elections going on. (Sort of.) The first primary is in the District of Columbia, but that’s a bit of a misnomer because it’s not really a primary, nor is it a caucus. DC doesn’t impact the GOP in the general election because the Republicans know they won’t even get 10% of the vote, but they do get to participate in the primary. They have a “convention” today where anyone who is registered as a member of the Republican Party can visit a single convention roughly two blocks from the White House and hopefully all eleven of the Republicans in the district will show up to vote. Who will they support? As Politico puts it… that might be a bit awkward.
