Juan Peñalosa, executive director of the Florida Democratic Party, called the lawsuit 'ridiculous.'
The complaint names as defendants the Florida Democratic Party, the Democratic National Committee, Sanders and Secretary of State Laurel Lee, Florida's chief elections officer. It seeks to block Lee from certifying votes for Sanders and stop the Democratic Party from awarding any delegates to him before the summer convention.
“Defendant Sanders is clearly an independent and is clearly not a Democrat, by his own definition,” the lawsuit says. “His current ‘day job’ is as a United States senator and he has consistently, proudly asserted his service in that role as independent.”
