On September 8, the plaintiffs in Wilding v Democratic National Committee Services filed an appeal to the Eleventh Circuit. This is the lawsuit in which Bernie Sanders supporters in 2016 who had contributed to the national Democratic Party had filed a class action lawsuit against the party. They charged that the party defrauded them because, even though its national rules pledged neutrality, in fact top officials of the party actively helped Hillary Clinton and worked against Bernie Sanders.

On August 25, the U.S. District Court in the southern district of Florida had dismissed the lawsuit, without allowing for a trial. Thanks to the Independent Voters Network for this news.
