One of Ralph Nader’s two lawsuits against the Democratic National Committee has been transferred from District of Columbia Superior Court, to U.S. District Court in D.C. The D.C. Superior Court is somewhat analogous to a lower state court, if D.C. were a state.

The Democratic National Committee arranged for the transfer. The Democratic National Committee may also have the other Nader lawsuit (the one filed in U.S. District Court in Virginia) merged in with the new federal case in D.C. The new federal case in D.C. is before Judge Ricardo Urbina, a Clinton appointee. It is Nader v Democratic National Committee, 07-2136.
