COPENHAVER BACKS OFF SOME VOTER SUBPOENA DEMANDS IN SENATE DISTRICT 23 RECOUNT
The Indiana Recount Commission’s tour of the election offices in the six counties in Indiana Senate District 23 is scheduled to stop Monday at the Tippecanoe County Office Building to check logistics, ahead of a full recount expected to start in mid-June in Paula Copenhaver’s challenge of her three-vote election loss to state Sen. Spencer Deery in the May 5 Republican primary.
Beyond a straight rerun of the ballots across the sprawling state Senate district, Copenhaver’s team has called on the commission to use federal Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE) data to check whether voters had proof of citizenship and were eligible to vote, along with a challenge of 14 voter she suspects tampered with the election by pulling Republican ballots in Deery’s 6,337-6,334 win.
Late last week, the Recount Commission posted a pair of additional filings from William Bock, Copenhaver’s attorney – one challenging how one county certified its results and another stepping back, somewhat, from its demand to subpoena some voters to testify about their primary choices.
