A federal judge on July 31 tossed a lawsuit brought by the Republican National Committee (RNC) over Google routing the RNC’s emails to recipients’ spam folders.

The RNC failed to state a claim under California Unfair Competition Law (UCL) or for intentional interference with economic relations, U.S. District Judge Daniel Calabretta ruled.
