Kenneth Anderson's team of attorneys was granted an extra week by the state Supreme Court to file a rebuttal to an appeal of his court challenge to May's town judge primary.
Anderson lost May's Democratic town judge primary by 11 votes to incumbent Town Judge Deborah Riga. A county judge is weighing evidence of voter fraud Anderson presented in court to determine if the election was tainted enough to intervene. Riga has appealed an earlier decision by the county judge to move forward with the court challenge.
Anderson said his team likely will file a rebuttal by Monday's deadline. Riga's attorneys have maintained that Anderson had his shot at airing accusations of voter fraud before an election panel in June. That election panel voted 2-1 to uphold the election results, despite agreeing that at least four mail-in ballots where cast illegally in the names of people who did not live in Schererville.
