[281]*281ORDER
(Granting Motion to Dismiss)
TODD R. MATHA, Chief Judge.
INTRODUCTION
The Court must determine whether to grant the defendant’s motion to dismiss. [282]*282The plaintiff failed to articulate basic facts and circumstances within her initial pleading, and subsequently provided untenable causes of action within a discovery document. The Court, therefore, dismisses the election challenge.
PROCEDURAL HISTORY
The Court recounts the procedural history in significant detail in a previous judgment. Scheduling Order, CV 08-86 (HCN Tr. Ct„ Dec. 1, 2008) at 1. For purposes of this decision, the Court notes that the defendant, Ho-Chunk Nation Election Board (hereinafter Election Board), by and through Ho-Chunk Nation Department of Justice (hereinafter DOJ) Attorney Michelle M. Greendeer, submitted its Answer & Motion to Dismiss on December 2, 2008, which constituted an untimely filing.1 See Ho-Chunk Nation Rules of Civil Procedure (hereinafter HCN R.'Civ. P.), Rules 19(A), 76(A). To facilitate the prompt resolution of this matter, the Court scheduled a Pre-Trial Hearing. Scheduling Order at 2.
The Court convened the Hearing on December 2, 2008 at 2:30 p.m. CST. The following parties appeared at the Pre-Trial Hearing: Gloria J. Visintin, plaintiff (by telephone); Judith A. Whitehorse, defendant’s designated representative; and DOJ Attorney Michelle M. Greendeer, de-. fendant’s counsel. At the Hearing, the Court established deadlines for the filing of an amended complaint,2 amended responsive pleading,3 and amended disposi-tive motion, if necessary.4 Additionally, the Court tentatively scheduled a Motion Hearing in the event the defendant reasserted its Motion to Dismiss.5
On December 3, 2008, the plaintiff filed her mandatory discovery disclosures. See Scheduling Order at 1. The following day, the plaintiff submitted her Answer to Defendant’s Interrogatories, which the defendant presented on December 3, 2008. The [283]*283defendant filed an Amended Answer and Reassertion of Motion to Dismiss on December 5, 2008, thereby necessitating a Motion Hearing. The Court convened the Hearing on Tuesday, December 9, 2008 at 1:30 p.m. CST.6 The following parties appeared at the Hearing: Gloria J. Visintin, plaintiff (by telephone); Judith A. Whitehorse, defendant’s designated representative (by telephone); and DOJ Attorney Michelle M. Greendeer, defendant’s counsel.

FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The parties received proper notice of the December 9, 2008 Motion Hearing.
2. The plaintiff, Gloria J. Visintin, is an enrolled member of the Ho-Chunk Nation, Tribal ID# 439A003116, and maintains an address of W18004 Witt-Birn Townline Road, Wittenberg, WI 54499. Compl., CV 08-86 (Nov. 26, 2008) at 1.
3. The defendant, Election Board, is a constitutionally established entity, and maintains an address of 4 East Main Street, Black River Falls, WI 54615. Const., Art. VIII, § 4.
4. On November 26, 2008, the plaintiff filed a Complaint in which she “ehal-lengjed] HCN Secretarial Election results of November 18, 2008.”7 Compl. at 2. The plaintiff does not indicate any reason for the challenge, but nonetheless seeks “voi-dance of HCN Secretarial Election ... and [to] apply law as applicable.” Id. at 3.
5. The plaintiffs Complaint fails to satisfy the liberal pleading requirements of the Court, ie., the initial pleading does not contain “the facts and circumstances giving rise to the action.” HCN R. Civ. P. 3(A).
6. The plaintiff failed to file an amended pleading despite receiving an opportunity to do so. See supra, note 2.
7.Instead, the plaintiff articulated two (2) grounds for the election challenge within her December 3, 2008 mandatory discovery disclosures:
a. successful Redistricting/Reapportionment Scenario 5 failed to receive majority vote approval, having acquired only 24.65% of the total votes cast in the November 18, 2008 Special Election, see Def. ⅛ Answer, Attach. A; and
b. the Ho-Chunk Nation Legislature did not call a Secretarial Election in order to incorporate the results of the January 12, 2002 Special Redistricting/Reapportionment Election into the Constitution, thereby confusing the electorate by not supplanting the original legislative districts. PL ⅛ Rule 31 Disclosures, CV 08-86 (Dec. 3, 2008) at 2; see also Const. Arts. V, § 1(b), XI II, § 2, addendum (legislative history).
8. The Court required the defendant to address the plaintiffs above-stated claims despite her failure to file an amended pleading.8 Mot. Hr’g (LPER at 3, Dec. 9, 2008, 01:41:03 CST).
DECISION
The Court must decide an election challenge within twenty (20) days of its filing. Const, Art. VIII, § 7. This abbreviated timeframe forces the Court to establish rather inflexible deadlines, but it still strives to resolve the substantive disputes at issue in election challenges. The Court recognizes that most challenges represent honest and legitimate concerns of the complainants.
[289]*289Yet, a plaintiff bears the burden of proof at trial, and must be ultimately capable of establishing “by clear and convincing evidence that the Election Board violated th[e] Election Ordinance or otherwise conducted an unfair election, mid that the outcome of the election would have been different but for the violation.” Election Ordinance, 2 HCC § 6.15b (emphasis added); see also Christine Funmaker-Romano et al v. HCN Election Bd. et al., SU 05-08 (HCN S.Ct., Aug. 3, 2005). This elevated standard serves to winnow out most election challenges. “Undoing an election is an extraordinary act and must be avoided as much as possible. It is therefore only appropriate that the challenger in an election dispute prove a violation by a higher standard than by preponderance of the evidence.” Joyce Warner v. HCN Election Bd., CV 95-03 (HCN Tr. Ct., July 5, 1995) at 2.
In the instant case, the plaintiff cannot conceivably surmount this burden due to the nature of her asserted claims. The plaintiff first contends that a redistricting/reapportionment scenaido must receive a majority vote of the participating electorate in order to effectuate a change to the legislative districts. However, while candidacy elections, ie., presidential, legislative and judicial appellate, require a winner to secure a majority vote, the constitutional redistricting/reapportionment provision contains no such requirement. Compare Const., Arts. V, § 6, VI, § 5, VII, § 10, with id., Art. V, § 4; see also Election Ordinance, § 6.1c-e, 3c(1). The fifty percent plus one (50% + 1) requirement announced in this Court’s first cases in 1995, had nothing to do with redistricting/reapportionment. See, e.g., Jo Ann Jones v. HCN Election Bd. et al., CV 95-05 (HCN Tr. Ct., July 6, 1995) at 5-6, aff'd, SU 95-05 (HCN S.Ct., Aug. 15,1995) at 3-4; see also generally Dennis M. Fun-maker, Sr. v. HCN Election Bd. et al., CV 05-40 (HCN Tr. Ct., May 24, 2005) at 10-18, rev’d on other grounds, SU 05-06 (HCN S.Ct., June 6, 2005).
The plaintiff next claims that a Secretarial Election must follow each Special RedistrictingTleapportionment Election in order to amend Article V, Section 1(b), “Composition of the Legislature,” to reflect changes caused by a new redistricting/reapportionment scenario. Const., Arts. V, §§ 1(b), 4, XIII, §§ 1-2. The Court refrains from directly commenting upon this issue, reserving possible adjudication for the future. To reiterate, the plaintiff must prove that the Election Board either “violated th[e] Election Ordinance or otherwise conducted an unfair election.” Election ordinance, § 6.15b. The plaintiff raises the above issue to demonstrate the potentiality for confusion. The plaintiff argues that the electorate could not intelligently select a new' redistricting/reapportionment without clearly understanding the present legislative districts. The plaintiff also believes that younger voters would be more susceptible to this confusion. Mot. Hr’g (LPER at 13, 02:08:15 CST).
The plaintiffs argument rests upon her supposition that the voting population remains possibly unaware of the present legislative districts due to a failure to amend Article V, Section 1(b). The Court, however, cannot join in this wholly anecdotal argument. The present legislative districts have been utilized since the 2003 General Election, and appear within a constitutional addendum and the election code. Const., addendum (legislative history); Election Ordinance, § 6.5a(l). Furthermore, anyone can gain this information by visiting the legislative website or directly consulting with the Legislature or individual legislators. See http:// www.ho-chunknation.eom/?PageId=284 (last visit[290]*290ed Dec. 16, 2008). The electorate must be expected to become at least moderately informed of the issues upon which it votes, especially when the information is readily available from several public sources.
The Court consequently must deny the plaintiffs request for relief. The Court grants the defendant’s Motion to Dismiss, which serves to conclude this election challenge. The parties retain the right to appeal this final judgment pursuant to the Special Rules for Election Challenges. HCN R. Civ. P. 80.
