In a recent government meeting, representatives were presented with a resolution calling for an investigation into alleged inaccuracies in Illinois' 2022 election results. The resolution, introduced by members of the United Sovereign Americans, highlighted findings from an extensive audit that purportedly uncovered over 4 million discrepancies in the state's voter registration database, including nearly 590,000 votes cast by ineligible or uncertain registrants.

The speakers emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of elections, likening the discrepancies to a significant imbalance in a financial account that necessitates an audit. They argued that the findings indicate a failure to comply with both federal and state election laws, which could undermine the legitimacy of future elections, particularly the upcoming 2024 general election.

Mary Jane Silvestri, one of the presenters, underscored the civil right to free and fair elections, referencing Supreme Court precedents that support the need for accurate voter rolls and valid ballots. The resolution calls for several measures to ensure election integrity, including proof of citizenship for voters, public access to certified voter rolls, and comprehensive audits of election processes.

The group urged elected officials to take their concerns seriously and to support the resolution, which they believe is crucial for restoring public trust in the electoral system. They requested to be invited back to discuss the resolution further, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability in the electoral process.

As the meeting progressed, the board moved on to other agenda items, but the call for action regarding election integrity remains a pressing issue for many constituents in Illinois.
