Denver Post uncovers that Democratic Party told Hillary Clinton's campaign about caucus counting mistake, but kept public and Bernie Sanders camp in the dark

As to whether Sanders can win a majority of the state's delegation with a single superdelegate, Weaver said the campaign considers them separate tallies.
"Once we get to the convention, they'll have an opportunity to take a look at the two candidates and choose the candidate who is best able to defeat the Republicans in November," he said. "We are very gratified that we not only won the pledged delegates in Colorado, we apparently won them by a larger margin."
As for being kept in the dark, Weaver said it is "certainly disturbing that that information gets sent to one campaign and not to another."

such as a class action law suit? It seems as though anyone who has donated to Bernie in a manner that the DNC got a cut should also be able to sue to get their money back.

livid about this and "certainly disturbing"? No, it's not just disturbing, it's lying and cheating.

delegates all had pre-knowledge that the mailer was a fake.
