On June 28, 2016, some Bernie Sanders voters and delegates sued the Democratic Party in federal court, alleging that the party conspired to injure the chances of Sanders as he sought the Democratic presidential nomination. The party is attempting to get the case dismissed on jurisdictional grounds. The last brief was filed on October 14, 2016, but no action on the case has occurred since then.

The case is Wilding v Democratic National Committee services, s.d. Florida, 0:16cv-61511. The Judge is William D. Zloch, a Reagan appointee.
