A volunteer group calling itself United Sovereign Americans urged the Grundy County Board during public comment on June 10 to adopt a resolution calling for extensive election‑integrity measures and to investigate alleged irregularities in the 2024 general election.

Speakers representing the group read a resolution that cites court precedents and federal laws (they referenced Reynolds v. Sims, the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and the Help America Vote Act of 2002) and asserted, based on their own analysis of certified records, that millions of registration “errors and omissions” and more than one million invalid or uncertain registrants affected the 2024 results. The speakers said their analysis has been shared with state officials, law enforcement and federal courts. They asked the county to adopt the resolution and to demand measures including system security, voter verification, chain‑of‑custody controls, record retention for auditing and, if necessary, re‑administration of elections that cannot be substantiated.

Multiple speakers introduced the group’s findings in sequence. Ken Zitko identified himself as an Illinois state chapter director and read the resolution into the record. Michelle Peterson and others described audit figures the group said were drawn from official data files; one speaker said their audit “measured 4,566,205 material registration errors and omissions” and claimed “1,045,659 votes improperly counted” and a count of “56,164 excess votes” beyond reported voter participation.

County officials and board members responded by offering to review the claims. County Clerk Kaye Olson said the group had not arranged the pre‑meeting visit to the clerk’s office the county offers, though she said the office remains available. The chairman and several board members thanked the volunteers for raising concerns and invited them to meet with the clerk and board members to review county records. One board member summarized that he and his wife observed the local ballot counting process and described the county’s checks during counting.

Board members also noted that the group reported having presented similar resolutions in other counties and that, as of the June 10 meeting, the speakers said no Illinois county had passed the resolution though they said versions had been presented in other states.

The board did not take formal action on the group’s resolution request at the meeting. Several board members offered to meet with the organizers and County Clerk Kaye Olson to review Grundy County’s procedures and records; the clerk and chairman said they would meet with the group to "figure it out" before any committee or formal agenda consideration.

Speakers repeatedly described themselves as volunteers and not official spokespeople for the group. The county did not endorse the contentions presented; elected officials instead proposed a follow‑up meeting with the clerk to examine local records.
