    Oh you sweet summer child. Didn’t you know that the DNC and RNC are private corporations? They don’t have to show you anything and there is nothing you can do about it.

    The court recognized that the DNC treated voters unfairly, but ruled that the DNC is a private corporation; therefore, voters cannot protect their rights by turning to the courts:

    “To the extent Plaintiffs wish to air their general grievances with the DNC or its candidate selection process, their redress is through the ballot box, the DNC’s internal workings, or their right of free speech — not through the judiciary.”
