A federal judge rejected on Wednesday a lawsuit by Bernie Sanders supporters who argued elections officials in California were confusing and robbing unaffiliated voters of the chance to vote in the state’s June 7 Democratic presidential primary.
U.S. District Court Judge William Alsup in San Francisco said the Voting Rights Defense Project waited too long to request an injunction for radio and TV ads informing “no-party preference,” or unaffiliated, voters that they can vote in the presidential primary of the Democratic, American Independent and Libertarian parties.
