Lawsuit rejected over DNC tilt toward Clinton

I am so glad that this bogus lawsuit was rejected https://cbs12.com/news/local/lawsuit-rejected-over-dnc-tilt-toward-clinton

A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a lawsuit filed by some Democratic donors and Bernie Sanders supporters that alleged wrongdoing by the Democratic National Committee and former Democratic National Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz during the 2016 presidential primary process.

Boiled down, the lawsuit alleged that “during the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries, the DNC and Ms. Wasserman Schultz improperly tipped the scales in favor of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was challenging Senator Sanders for the Democratic presidential nomination,” the ruling said.

Filed in South Florida, the lawsuit raised a series of allegations, including fraud, negligent misrepresentation and unjust enrichment, and proposed three potential legal classes: Democratic National Committee donors, Sanders campaign donors in 2016 and voters affiliated with the Democratic Party in various states.

But the appeals court rejected the lawsuit on a variety of grounds, including plaintiffs not having standing or not meeting legal tests to back up the claims.

I would have made a reference to a "steaming pile", and although accurate, it would not have made any friends.
