U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign on Tuesday sued Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted in federal court over his unconstitutional attempt to block young voters from casting ballots in the state's March 15 presidential primary election.

"It is an outrage that the secretary of state in Ohio is going out of his way to keep young people -- significantly African-American young people, Latino young people -- from participating."
