Champaign County Board members are urged to take immediate action to ensure the integrity of future elections following alarming findings from a recent analysis of voter rolls and election data. During a meeting on July 26, 2025, representatives from the nonpartisan organization Unite for Freedom presented a resolution highlighting significant irregularities in the 2024 general election results, which they claim undermine the validity of the electoral process.

The analysis revealed that over one million votes were improperly counted, with more than 56,000 excess votes recorded beyond the number of participants. These findings have raised serious concerns about compliance with federal and state election laws, prompting calls for urgent reforms to restore public confidence in the electoral system.

The proposed resolution outlines several key measures aimed at ensuring a legally valid and transparent 2026 general election. These include strict voter verification processes, enhanced ballot security protocols, and comprehensive audits of election outcomes. The resolution emphasizes the responsibility of election officials to maintain accurate voter rolls and uphold the integrity of the voting process.

Supporters of the resolution argue that the current election procedures do not adequately comply with established laws, risking the fundamental right of citizens to have their votes counted accurately. They stress that failure to address these issues could lead to similar discrepancies in future elections, jeopardizing the democratic process.

The Champaign County Board is now faced with the critical decision of whether to adopt the resolution, which advocates for immediate legislative and procedural changes to safeguard the electoral system. As discussions continue, the implications of this meeting could have lasting effects on the integrity of elections in Champaign County and beyond.
