PHOENIX — Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders will not challenge the results of Arizona’s problematic presidential primary, an attorney for his campaign told The Associated Press on Friday.

The campaign had considered contesting the results of the March 22 election because of serious problems in the state’s largest county, including hours-long lines and the rejection of about 20,000 provisional ballots.

That amounted to about 80 percent of those cast, mainly by registered independents not allowed to vote in the state’s closed primary.

“We concluded that an election contest is too narrow and restricting a venue to address the widespread problems in Maricopa County that occurred on Election Day and disenfranchised tens of thousands of Arizona voters,” attorney Chris Sautter said.

So, he sold out his voters, and THEN joined the DNC lawsuit (nb - I had a meeting with the DNC Director that day and got the details directly)
