DECISION
Pursuant to the Election Ordinance, a challenger must prove by clear and convincing evidence that the Election Board violated the Ordinance or conducted an unfair election. Election Ordinance, § 6.15b. In addition, it must be proven that the election would have been different, but for the violation. Id.; see also Demetrio D. Abangan et al. v. HCN Election Bd., SU 02-02 (HCN S.Ct., Mar. 25, 2002) at 3 n. 1 (acknowledging the statutory modification from “could” have been different to “would” be different). The Supreme Court has previously stated that “[sjubstantial compliance shall satisfy this Ordinance [sic].” Christine Funmaker-Romano et al., SU 05-08 (HCN S.Ct., Aug. 3, 2005) at 7. Under this two-part test, minor infractions can be dismissed if the election results would remain unchanged, however with major violations there is a greater chance of variance in the results. See generally id. at 6. The Supreme Court previously determined that the legislative intent for creating the second prong of this test was to ensure that the wishes of the voting populace are upheld to the extent that the Ordinance allows. Id. at 8. In close races where it cannot be proven that the outcome would change, it would undermine “the credibility of the Judiciary to have it decide who won an election and makes it seem merely an arm of the political branches by deciding close elections.” Id. Therefore, both prongs must be proven by clear and convincing evidence in order to successfully challenge an election.
With regard to whether the June 22, 2008 Special Election was fail*, it is the obligation of the plaintiff to prove by clear and convincing evidence such election was unfair. The clear and convincing standard of proof requires that the result shall not *280be reached by a mere balancing of probabilities, but rather by clear evidence that causes the Court to be unequivocally convinced that the allegations sought to be proved are true. In order to prove something by “clear and convincing evidence,” the party with the burden o f proof must convince the Court that it is substantially more likely than not that the allegation is in fact true.
The plaintiff argued that because the June 22, 2008 Special Election and the last day of the Ho-Chunk Sports & Expo Center Pow-wow coincided, it was unfair to the Chicago area voters. LPER, 09:24:19 CDT. Further, those potential voters that may have attempted to vote on June 22, 2008, would have been in traffic due to the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox baseball game. Com pi. at 16; LPER, 09:24:40 CDT. If the Election Ordinance did not provide recourse for potential voters that could make it to the designated Polling Places, then this could seem unfair; however, the Election Ordinance allows for absentee voting. Election Ordinance, § 6.11. Further, the plaintiff did not argue that the absentee voting system was flawed, and acknowledged that he was the sole absentee voter. Id., 11:31:48 CDT. The plaintiff, therefore, did not prove that the Election Board conducted an unfair election.
Regarding the second prong, the plaintiff stated that on average approximately twenty-one (21) Ho-Chunk voters vote from the Chicago area in each election, and therefore approximately sixteen (16) voters were denied the right to vote. LPER, 09:45:44 CDT. The plaintiff acknowledged that he only knew four (4) of those voters, and no testimony was offered as to which candidate those four (4) voters would have voted. Id., 10:05:46. Further, the plaintiff s witness was aware of the proxy voting procedures, but chose not utilize those procedures. Id., 10:01:22. The Court cannot make any inference as to how many voters would have voted, and to do so would cause the Court to enter into speculation. Moreover, to the extent that a violation would or could have been shown, the plaintiff did not show that the outcome wrould have been different.
BASED UPON THE FOREGOING, the Court finds that the plaintiff has failed to prove the two-part test established for deciding election challenges. Election Ordinance, 2 HCC § 6.15b. Namely, the plaintiff did not unequivocally convince the Court that the defendants conducted an unfair election or violated a section of the Election Ordinance, under the clear and convincing standard. The parties retain the right to appeal this final judgment pursuant to the Special, Rules for Election Challenges. HCN R. Civ. P. 80.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 21st day of July 2008, by the Ho-Chunk Nation Trial Court located in Black River Falls, W1 within the sovereign lands of the Ho-Chunk Nation.
. The Court denied the request for a stay [sic ] or preliminary injunction because the Court would otherwise deal with the issues at Trial, thereby rendering the four prong test moot. Coalition for Fair Gov't v. Chloris A Lowe, Jr. et al., SU 96-02 (HCN S.Ct., July 1, 1996) at 7. Further, the Court denied the plaintiffs motion to remove Attorney Murphy from the case. The plaintiff did not cite any law or professional rule of conduct, which Attorney Murphy violated. See Ho-Chunk Nation Rules of Civil Procedure (hereinafter HCN R. Civ. P., Rule 18) (requiring that a legal memorandum accompany a motion addressing a legal matter). The plaintiff indicated that a conflict of interest or an appearance of impropriety existed, primarily because the Ho-Chunk Nation Legislature contracts work from Attorney Murphy’s firm, Whyte Hirschboeck & Dudek, S.C. (hereinafter WHD). Pl’s Mot. for Recusal of Michael P. Murphy Att'y for Def. at 2. The defendants' argued that the motion was untimely, and if granted it would prejudice the Election Board members, in addition, the defendants argued that Attorney Murphy and WHD performed a "conflicts check,” and such check did not violate the Wisconsin Rules of Professional Conduct for Attorneys, including the rule entitled Conflicts of Interest Current Clients. Defs.' Resp. in Opp. to Pl.'s Mot. to Recuse Def. Counsel at 2; Trial (LPER, July 18, 2008, 09:10:55 CDT). The Court did not remove Attorney Murphy from the proceedings.
. The official certification of election results does not reflect the date of certification as required by prior decision of the Court. Stewart J. Miller v. HCN Election Bd„ CV 01-57 (HCN Tr. Ct„ May 24, 2001).
. The Court informed the plaintiff of the Election Challenge standard. Pre-Trial Hearing (LPER, July 9, 2008, 02:35:28 C0T); Order (Preliminary Determinations), CV 08-33 (HCN Tr. Ct, July 9, 2008) at 5.
