As the midterm elections draw closer, discussions around election integrity are gaining traction, despite distractions in the news cycle. Concerns about the legitimacy of past elections, particularly 2020, linger in the minds of many Americans. The Trump administration has made clear that restoring faith in the electoral process is paramount.
One of the main sources of skepticism comes from Illinois, which epitomizes troubling anomalies witnessed across swing states. Christopher Krebs, the former Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, asserted in his testimony that the 2020 election was “the most secure in U.S. history.” Paradoxically, Krebs acknowledged that some tabulators were connected to the internet for transmitting votes…an admission that raises questions about security and integrity.
Electionfraud20.org provides a detailed analysis of various irregularities observed during the 2020 elections. Numerous issues have been documented: chain of custody breaks, unexplained surges in votes for one candidate, discrepancies between ballot tallies and recorded votes, and instances of ballot counting where observers were absent. The list remains extensive, amplifying public distrust.
If the 2020 election had its share of controversies, the recent municipal elections in April 2025 in Illinois have stoked similar suspicions. Celebrating a remarkable 79% win rate, Democrats claimed 222 out of 280 local seats. This exceptional result arrives in the wake of what the Chicago Sun-Times noted as the “first off-year election of permanent vote by mail”—something Democrats have embraced. Yet such a sweeping victory raises eyebrows and defies conventional political expectations.
One individual took it upon themselves to scrutinize the data directly obtained from county websites. Their findings are startling. For instance, an analysis conducted by an account named Election Nark presents statistical anomalies that would be improbable in a fair election. In DuPage County, results across multiple townships showed consistent patterns where Democrat candidates received nearly identical percentages of votes, regardless of the type of voting method used, such as early votes, mail-in ballots, or election day ballots. The probability of such an outcome? An astonishing 1 in 268 billion.
Such patterns raised further alarms when compared to vote-by-mail occurrences. The same trends persisted across two races for trustee positions, revealing that all registered Democrat candidates won while their Republican counterparts lost. This consistent outcome, while statistically improbable, deserves scrutiny and draws attention to the mechanics of vote counting.
Election Nark’s findings indicate that the peculiar voting patterns seen in DuPage County are not isolated events. Similar occurrences extend to other counties in Illinois, including Cook, Kendall, Lake, and Will counties. By examining voting populations with different demographics and characteristics, the analysis reveals a pattern so dominant that random chance seems implausible as the explanation.
The implications of these observations are profound. Americans are rightfully concerned over election integrity, with evidence building that warrants further investigation into the systems in place. With data-driven insights challenging the narrative of seamless elections, the push for transparency and accountability in voting remains crucial as the nation approaches the next cycle of elections.
There is undoubtedly much more to uncover. As engagement with such issues intensifies, the demand for a closer examination of election systems across the country cannot be ignored.
