- ↑ The BOE and several news outlets estimated the cost of a recount at $50 per precinct. This number was incorrect; as the BOE noted in a letter to White, the D.C. Code says $50 per precinct is only the down-payment required by law. The BOE advised White that it estimated the cost of a full recount at $7,360. According to the Washington City Paper , a single day's recount cost $2,276.80, and as "White watched the recount bill balloon in May, he called off the recount early." [46] White subsequently alleged that the BOE "duped him on the cost of a full recount". [46]
- ↑ The District's homicide rate increased from 105 in 2014 to 162 in 2015, and more than 50 homicides occurred in Ward 8 alone. [47]
- ↑ Mayor Bowser had proposed strongly enhanced penalties for violent crime and new authority for the police to execute warrantless searches of violent criminals, among other aspects of a wide-ranging anti-crime package. These provoked strongly negative reactions from Ward 8 residents, who saw them as punitive, racist, and ignoring the root causes of crime. [48]
- ↑ Barry's endorsement came in July 2015, even though White had not declared a candidacy. [51]
- ↑ The Council routinely releases footage of public events, and the new footage was made public as part of this regularly-scheduled release. [81]
