U.S. District Court Says Bernie Sanders Supporters Don’t Have Standing to Sue the Democratic National Committee

On August 25, U.S. District Court Judge William Zloch, a Reagan appointee, dismissed the lawsuit Wilding v Democratic National Committee Services, s.d. Florida, 0:16cv-61511.  The lawsuit had been filed by donors to the Democratic national party who said they had been cheated because the national party had not been neutral in the contest between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.  The plaintiffs all supported Sanders.  Here is the 28-page decision.  Thanks to IVN for this news.

  1. Yet another reason to abolish the rotted Electoral College and ALL of the CORRUPT party hack stuff with it.

    PR and nonpartisan AppV

  2. The fascinating thing about this ruling is that the judge actually acknowledged that the national party interfered in the primaries. He simply ruled that the Sanders people had no standing.

  3. No USA political party can be neutral in ballot access and free speech issues, including BAN, without pure proportional representation (PR).

    Are you interested in equal treatment and equal time by those elected under PR that guarantees the most inclusive decision-making and elected of names?

    The United Coalition has been using the pure proportional representation (PR) for more than twenty-two consecutive years and it works fine.

    We are good Democratic and Republicans working together for the good of all parties and independents.

    Nobody has it as good as the United Coalition.

  4. Terrible decision. Either will be reversed or the plaintiffs may simply re-plead it to satisfy court’s draconian view of proper pleading under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Oh, to have Notice Pleading again!
