*NV Dems Statement on Dismissed Lawsuit*

*Las Vegas, NV* – Today, Eighth Judicial District Court Judge Ronald J.
Israel dismissed
<http://lasvegassun.com/news/2016/may/13/judge-dismisses-case-filed-by-sanders-supporters-a/>
a lawsuit against the Nevada State Democratic Party disputing internal
party election procedures. In response to this decision, the State Party
released the following statement:

“This frivolous lawsuit was an unnecessary distraction from our shared
goals as Democrats, and we’re pleased the court dismissed it today. In his
decision, the judge disputed essentially every argument from the
plaintiffs, denied their request for a preliminary injunction, and agreed
that the State Party had not done anything wrong in setting rules and
deadlines for our internal elections. The judge determined that the State
Party’s procedures, notice, and nominations processes were entirely fair
and appropriate. As we said all along, this lawsuit was purely political
and in no way based in state law.

“Now that this issue has been resolved, we look forward to moving forward
and coming together to have a smooth, efficiently-run State Convention this
weekend. We are an inclusive, big-tent party, and we are glad to have
supporters of both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders running for our
Executive Committee. We must unite as Democrats so we can focus our energy
and attention on keeping a dangerous, racist, misogynistic billionaire like
Donald Trump out of the White House.”
