DescriptionA federal judge on Thursday denied an attempt to cancel at-large Nevada caucus sites.

Judge James Mahan washed his hands of the case, saying that existing election law allows for the Democratic Party to resolve the differences internally and it’s not the place of the federal court to adjudicate how the party conducts its caucuses.

Mahan encouraged the two parties to work out its differences. The locations were designed to make it easier for those workers in the state’s biggest industry to caucus midday, but six Democrats and the Nevada State Teachers Union sued to shut down the sites.
