Tex Hall, the former chairman of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation of North Dakota, was in tribal court on Monday to call for a new election.
Hall lost the November 7 election by more than 200 votes. But he alleges casino money was used to buy votes for Marcus Wells Jr., who won the election.
A tribal election board rejected Hall's complaint, saying there was no evidence of wrongdoing. The appeal gets heard by the tribal court.
Wells was sworn in after winning the election.
