• Democratic members of the New York Board of Elections have appealed a federal judge's ruling that the state's presidential primary must go on.
• Last month, members of the board canceled the presidential primary, removing Sen. Bernie Sanders from the ballot, citing the coronavirus pandemic.
• The cancellation was reversed Tuesday by US District Judge Analisa Torres of Manhattan, who said doing so was unconstitutional.
• The presidential primary is "unnecessary" and "frivolous," said David Kellner, co-chair of the board.
• While Sanders is no longer running for president, he seeks to gain delegates for the Democratic National Convention through the remaining elections.
