Late Friday, after discussions with the DNC and a federal judge, Sanders’ campaign will regain access to the national voter file, a person close to the situation told POLITICO. The decision came after hours of negotiations, and it means the campaign will be able to resume its field organization after hours in limbo. However, the person added, the Sanders camp would not be dropping its lawsuit against the DNC because of the resolution.
The discussion with the federal judge is interesting because no TRO motion was docketed in the electronic system.
This whole episode looks like a miscalculation by someone at the DNC. Seems like a pretty quick cave after the lawsuit was filed.
