A lower court judge ruled today to dismiss the major claims in a case filed by a group of Bernie Sanders supporters against the state Democratic party, saying that it wasn’t the court’s place to interfere in intra-party politics.

The Sanders supporters had asked the court to grant an injunction allowing them to run for state party office at Saturday's state Democratic convention. The judge, however, said that case law precludes him from interfering with a party’s internal political process.

The lawsuit had alleged the state Democratic Party had failed to properly notify Democrats of a deadline to run for state party office in violation of both its own internal rules as well as Nevada law. The defendants argued the confusion over the deadline had been caused internally by Sanders supporters and that the party had made the deadline clear in emails it had sent out.

He also agreed with the defendants’ argument that the confusion over the deadline to run for party office was not brought about by the party itself, but through misinformation had spread within the group of Sanders supporters. He added that supporters of both candidates were present at a phone meeting where the final deadline, April 25, was decided and were free to disseminate that information to their supporters however they saw fit....................

They word told thru email, didn't bother reading it, and they falsely accuse.

And this man wants to be president? Cannot even follow the simplest of stuff, but wants to take on huge and complex.
