Ankeny v. Daniels: Indiana Eligibility Case Update

By Phil

As originally covered here, Steve Ankeny and Bill Kruse are currently Plaintiffs in a case against Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels and the Democrat and Republican National Committees challenging that these Defendants had not upheld the Constitution when they certified the results of the election.

I have recently received word that the Cause number is 49D100812PL055511. Originally filed on December 9, 2008. On December 16, 2008, the Defendants apparently filed a motion for Enlargement of Time to Respond (a phrase that’s pretty self-explanatory; the Defendants wanted more time in which to respond).

When the story was originally reported in the press on December 25, 2008, the Governor and Judge had the following to say:

Jane Jankowski, spokeswoman for Daniels, confirmed the office had received a copy of the suit.
“We don’t have a comment,” she said Wednesday.

Judge David Dreyer, who will hear the case, said he could not talk about the specifics of the lawsuit.
“This is a very free country,” he said, “and these parties will be given the full consideration and respect that all parties will get.”

At this time, while the case is still pending, there is no set court date for another hearing; presumably, a date would be scheduled once the additional time for Defendant response has been exhausted.
