Sanders campaign keeps lawsuit against DNC alive

Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign has officially served the Democratic National Committee (DNC) with its lawsuit over access to party voter files, it said Thursday in a court filing.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan had given the campaign a Thursday deadline to serve the DNC with the suit or risk having it dropped from federal court.

In the new filing, the campaign said the two sides "continue to engage in cooperative discussions in their efforts to resolve the pending litigation" and will keep the court updated on those discussions.

A source close to the Sanders campaign framed the latest development as a way to keep the door open for a lawsuit as the two parties wait for the results of an independent audit.

But the source believes the issue ultimately will be "resolved amicably."

"We’re dealing with the DNC on an issue where we felt that they did not deal straight with us from the beginning, so the reason to keep this in place was to make sure Sen. Sanders is treated fairly in this process," the source told The Hill.

"This filing is very procedural. We went through with it because the report is not yet complete."

Sanders sued the DNC in December after the party briefly shut off his campaign's access to shared voter data. The committee was responding to the discovery that a Sanders aide had accessed separate data owned by rival Hillary Clinton's campaign.

The since-fired Sanders aide said he was only trying to document a system error so it could be fixed, and the Sanders campaign has argued that even the brief interruption represented a serious blow.

The party agreed to restore access shortly after Sanders filed the lawsuit. But the campaign has not closed the door on the suit, which seeks $75,000 for breach of contract.

That's it. I'm done. Get the fuck out of the race, and go back to Vermont, asshole.

Does this have to do with his campaign not recording the required information of donors? Or is that something else?

[wambam]

Good luck with that, dude.

I think it might, though I'm not positive. It seems this might be a cya move just in case they're going to be called out on the donation overages, etc.

I think I'm really starting to hate this man.

His campaign stole data. The DNC shut off the data until they could ensure that no more data was being stolen. And now Bernie is suing the DNC for that brief period of time he couldnt access the data.

Okay.

I love how the establishment is great when it suits him.

Me every time he speaks now:

*change 'Louis' for 'Bernie' of course.

I can't figure out if I am more angry/overly involved about Bernie v. Hillary or Bethenny v. Jason...

I'm finally going to donate. Between this fuckery & a FB friend posting that it is soooo undemocratic that 2/4 of Utah's superdelegates are for Hillary when Bernie got 80% of the vote, and everyone should email them to change their vote with emails included in the post, I am over Bernie & his supporters' nonsense (and also I'm going to email those superdelegates thanking them for supporting Hillary  )
