Andrew Yang sues New York over Democratic primary cancellation

Former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang is suing the New York State Board of Elections after it voted to remove Sen. Bernie Sanders from the primary ballot, effectively canceling the state’s presidential voting contest.

Yang and seven other plaintiffs, who had planned to serve as his delegates to the Democratic National Convention, filed suit Tuesday, arguing the “unprecedented and unwarranted move infringes the rights of Plaintiffs and all New York State Democratic Party voters” because “it fundamentally denies them the right to choose our next candidate for the office of President of the United States.”
