Update: A D.C. Superior Court judge on Wednesday dismissed the lawsuit challenging the delay of the city’s first attorney general election. Judge Laura Cordero found the D.C.

In a dispute over when the District of Columbia should hold its first election for an attorney general, the city’s highest court is staying out of the fray, at least for now.
