Election 2016: Bernie Sanders v The DNC

Apparently the DNC isn't Feeling the Bern.

The Sanders camp filed paperwork on March 26, 2016 to continue their ongoing lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee over the incident from 3 months prior. Bernie Sanders arguing that the DNC barred his campaign unfairly from accessing voter information and how to reach potential democratic voters that is contained in the 50 STATE VOTER FILE that the DNC keeps.

The DNC contends that a campaign staffer for Sanders improperly accessed data that was for the Hillary Clinton campaign. (Sanders officials did admit that the access occurred and that it was done by mistake do to a glitch in the DNC server) Because of this event the DNC suspended the Sanders people from the server and list of voters at a critical time in December. The two groups came to a resolution a day later and Sanders was once again allowed to use the DNC data.

Although it didn't end there.

The Sanders Campaign files suit stating that the Democratic National Committee over reacted and harmed their ability to campaign equally against Clinton's. Also, Sanders lawyers are saying that the DNC is supposed to give notice of suspension prior to acting. Something that Sanders claimed never took place.

Both the DNC and the Sanders Campaign say things are going smoothly between the two, with Marc Paustenbach, the DNC Press Secretary, telling Political that "productive discussions" are under way for a settlement (Sanders is seeking $75,000 in damages) despite the accusations from critics of favoritism of Hillary Clinton and how that Chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Shlutz, was the 2008 campaign co-chair for Clinton. Sanders' people and supporters also criticize Shlutz of having only 6 Debates between the two candidates and holding most of them on weekends where viewership would be low and would benefit the Clinton Campaign.

Shlutz flatly disputes the accusations, saying in an interveiw with FOX NEWS "There is just no shred of evidence to suggest that I'm favoring Hillary Clinton..." Shlutz goes on to say that if was then she isn't doing a very good job at wrapping up the nomination for Clinton.
