The D.C. Board of Elections made the thrifty decision Monday to let voters select a replacement for disgraced former D.C. Council Chairman Kwame R. Brown on Nov. 6 - the same day voters cast their ballot for president and multiple council races.
Mr. Tatum said a standalone election would cost $850,000 to $1 million, but attaching the chairman's race to the general election should add only about $300,000 to the estimated $1.6 million that the city already plans to spend on its Nov. 6 elections.
