D.C. Council eyeing 'Mid-Atlantic Primary'

The D.C. Council moved forward with a bill Tuesday to set the presidential and local primary for the first Tuesday in April 2012.

There’s one more vote on the bill before it becomes final. On Tuesday, as they discussed the bill, several councilmembers raised the idea of teaming up with Maryland and Delaware to hold their primaries on the same day. And a potential “Mid-Atlantic Primary” is not beyond reach: Both Maryland and Delaware are considering the first Tuesday in April as well.
