Willie Wilson, a Democratic Presidential Candidate in 2016, Loses Lawsuit Against the Democratic National Committee

On September 27, U.S. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, ruled against Willie Wilson in his lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee. Wilson v DNC Services, D.C., 1:17cv-730. Here is the opinion.

Wilson was a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016. He sued the national Democratic Party because it refused to give him the party’s national voter list. The party only gave the list to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, based on the party’s belief that only those two candidates were likely to make a strong showing for the party’s nomination. The opinion says the party was free to make that decision.

Wilson also sued because at a campaign event before the South Carolina Democratic primary, he was blocked from the stage by the Secret Service. The opinion says that even though the Hillary Clinton campaign may have influenced the Secret Service to do this, that is not the fault of the Democratic National Committee.
