Sanders camp sues DNC for blocking voter data access: Documents

(ABC News) — The Bernie Sanders campaign has filed a breach of contract lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee after it blocked the campaign’s access to voter data, according to new legal documents.

“The voter data is vital to the fundraising and voter identification efforts of all presidential candidates,” the suit, filed in Washington DC federal court, says.

The DNC suspended the campaign’s use of the database for the time being after Sanders staffers accessed data from the Clinton camp during a breakdown of the firewall.

The head of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, said the committee’s lawyers are reviewing the suit and intend to restore the campaign’s access after Sanders’ team provides a full accounting of what happened.

“A the end of the day, we are one Democratic family,” she said.
