(July 21, 2016) — With the Democratic National Convention only a few days away, Bernie Sanders supporters are excited to hear their favorite leader speak, but will his DNC speech focus on booting out the current Chair of the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz?

This can be potentially disappointing news to those in the Democratic Party that want to #UniteBlue and have Bernie Sanders fans voting for Hillary Clinton, but the struggle against Debbie Wasserman-Schultz might define Bernie Sanders’ timeline during and after the DNC.

(May 24, 2016 3:16 a.m.) — Bernie Sanders’ supporters filed a federal lawsuit alleging widespread confusion over California’s presidential primary voting rules, demanding voter registration be extended past Monday’s deadline until the day of the state’s primary election.

The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, names Secretary of State Alex Padilla and election officials in San Francisco and Alameda County. Plaintiffs include Voting Rights Defense Project, an organization trying to boost turnout for Bernie Sanders, two Bay Area voters and the American Independent Party (AIP), a far-right group.

(Mar. 11, 2016 18:12 pm EST) — Sen. Bernie Sanders notched a potentially significant win on Friday evening when an Ohio judge issued an order, allowing 17-year-old voters to participate in the state’s presidential primary on Tuesday.

Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge Richard Frye ruled that 17-year-old voters who turn 18 by the day of the November election can vote in the primary, though not on ballot issues or for any contests that would actually elect someone to office.
