Volunteers present 'legally valid 2026 election' resolution, allege data irregularities in 2024; board takes comments under advisement
Summary
Volunteers from United Sovereign Americans presented a multi-point resolution at public comment alleging widespread registration and vote-count irregularities in the 2024 general election and requested that county leaders take specific actions to ensure a "legally valid" 2026 election; the board did not act on the request during the meeting.
A group of volunteers representing United Sovereign Americans asked the DuPage County Board on May 27 to adopt a resolution demanding election integrity measures for the 2026 general election, and presented an audit they said shows registration errors and improperly counted votes in the 2024 election.
The group read a resolution calling for infrastructure compliance, voter verification, chain-of-custody ballot security, accurate counts, and “proven outcomes,” and requested that DuPage County officials and legislators take immediate action to ensure legally valid and transparent elections.
Why it matters: The speakers framed their resolution as a remedy for what they described as systemic errors in voter registration and vote tabulation, and they asked the county board to consider placing the measure on a future agenda for discussion and possible adoption.
During public comment, Lisa Forrest, identified as a DuPage County resident and volunteer for United Sovereign Americans, said the group had “meticulously analyzed official election files” and urged the board to adopt a resolution to “uphold voter civil rights and the integrity of our elections here in DuPage County.” Forrest said the analysis covered certified results from 2022 and 2024 and recommended a county-level response.
Other volunteers read legal references and a set of numeric findings that they attributed to their audit. At the lectern, Jody Zitko, identified as the state chapter director for Illinois, said, “I urge you to demonstrate your commitment to American representative government by passing this resolution.” Several volunteers repeated allegations that their audit found millions of registration errors and more than a million improperly counted votes; those figures were presented by speakers as the group’s findings and were not corroborated in the meeting by county officials.
Board action and context: The request was delivered during the public comment period; the board did not place the resolution on the agenda or vote on it during the meeting. Members later acknowledged the comments and said any formal consideration would follow normal agenda procedures.
Ending: United Sovereign Americans asked the board to invite them back for a detailed presentation and provided contact information and printed materials. The county board did not commit to action at the May 27 session.
