From the Leelanau News:
An attorney representing the Grand Traverse Band Election Board said the tribe is moving forward to resolve challenges filed by several tribal members including a candidate for the Tribal Chairman’s seat following the tribe’s Regular Election on May 21.
Tribal attorney William Brooks of Manistee said the Election Board met Monday evening in Peshawbestown to set procedures and a timeline for reviewing election challenges filed by Tribal Chairman candidate and sitting Tribal Councilor Derek J. Bailey, as well as three other tribal members, Katrina Smith, Rosemary Fay Antoine and Johnna L. Milks.
Brooks said he believed challenges filed with the Election Board over problems allegedly encountered by some voters at a polling place should be resolved by the board “within the next few weeks.” However, allegations of impropriety against the Election Board and its chairman, tribal elder Sam Evans, will take longer to resolve, he said.
