Mayoral BOEE Investigation: Don’t Hold Your Breath

Today, LL asked Interim Attorney General Peter Nickles about the investigation he’s been asked to do by Mayor Adrian M. Fenty into Tuesday’s voting irregularities.

Nickles’ probe is in addition to those launched by the Board of Elections and Ethics itself and one announced by the D.C. Council.

Nickles says he has begin looking into the matter, having “had a number of conversations yesterday”—but with who, he wouldn’t say.

LL asked what the product of the investigation would be, whether a written report on what happened Tuesday would be released to the public. Nickles wouldn’t commit.

“At some point,” he said, “I’m doing something.”
