As the midterm elections loom just over a year away, the news cycle is a veritable stew of topics that seem designed to keep the public’s blood pressure high. While the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, the indictment of James Comey, and the emotionally charged reactions of Jimmy Kimmel dominate headlines, the integrity of our electoral processes garners attention from a different, yet equally consequential corner: the Trump administration is intent on keeping the conversation around election integrity alive.
Since the controversial 2020 elections, Americans have harbored skepticism towards the integrity of their electoral system, with Illinois serving as a case in point for this wariness…
In the wake of the 2020 election, Christopher Krebs, the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), proclaimed that “the 2020 election was the most secure in U.S. history.” This stirring endorsement was tempered, however, by his admission that “as you move out from election day, there will be tabulators that… uh… that may have internet connections to transmit the vote.” Such statements, reported by CBS, undercut the confidence he sought to instill.
There certainly appears to be legitimate grounds for questioning the electoral process. According to electionfraud20.org, exhaustive forensic analyses reveal numerous issues across swing states: breaches in the chain of custody, discrepancies in voter rolls, unmonitored ballot counting, unobserved adjudications, duplicate ballots, and vote tallies that simply do not align with the number of recorded voters, among other concerns.
This data was never obscured to the vigilant observer; instead, the mainstream media has often responded with a fog of confusion and denial. One of the more distressing examples of this phenomenon arose in Antrim County, Michigan, where a “glitch”—attributed to “human error”—was presented as the non-fraudulent reason that Biden reportedly won a county known for its Republican leanings. However, subsequent audits suggested that the situation warranted a closer examination, calling into question the validity of the election machines in use.
Fast forward to April 2025 during the municipal elections in Illinois. Given the statistical anomalies that peppered the 2020 race, few were prepared for the recent municipal results, wherein Democrats claimed 222 out of 280 local victories, translating into a striking 79% dominance, as reported by the Chicago Sun-Times. The article highlights that this election marked the first off-year event utilizing permanent vote-by-mail, and posits that the Democrats’ increased trust in this system may have contributed to their overwhelming success.
However, a keen-eyed citizen, known by the handle Election Nark, took it upon themselves to scrutinize data collected directly from county records. The resulting analyses veer into deeply troubling territory, suggesting that statistical anomalies permeate the results more than mere party confidence could explain. One particularly striking analysis from DuPage County—a Chicago suburb—revealed that Democrat candidates achieved coincidental rankings across multiple voting formats (total votes, early votes, mail-in ballots, and election day votes). The odds of such a pattern occurring randomly? A staggering 1 in 268 billion.
Remember when we discussed the perfectly voted rankings?
4 candidates won the 4 open seats, ranked perfectly across total votes, early votes, vote-by-mail, and election day.
And the odds of it happening once were 1 in 268 Billion.It happened 3 times in the DuPage Township… pic.twitter.com/XoKtLKIvWd

As concerns rage, a deeper exploration reveals improbable patterns repeating across various townships for trustee positions. Voters, additionally, are expected to accept that Democrat candidates—spanning five distinct townships with unique demographics—would win and rank uniformly within a narrow margin, while Republican candidates echoed similar patterns but lost out altogether. Statistically speaking, the improbability of this scenario is mind-boggling, with models suggesting odds as low as 1 in 4.534 x 1046—a numeral so vast it rivals the seconds since the Big Bang.
So what are the chances this could happen in an election?
We had two different Artificial Intelligence systems analyze the data and run the odds. This is our favorite response but both had the same conclusion:
The odds (1 in 4.534 × 1046 or 1 in 4.426 × 1043) are… pic.twitter.com/RCEtTxIR0S— Election NARK (@ElectioNark) July 22, 2025
And then there is the vote-by-mail narrative. An analysis by Election Nark also yielded troubling results in comparing the outcomes of vote-by-mail ballots counted on election day versus those counted after. Surprising patterns emerged: in two races, candidates maintained percentage distributions that mirrored each other across contexts. In both cases, Democrat candidates emerged victorious while their Republican counterparts fell short—an extraordinary occurrence echoed across 9 township races in DuPage County.

The astonishing odds provoke reflection: could this merely be a localized anomaly in DuPage County? A counterargument could populate another entire article, as Election Nark discovers patterns echoing throughout multiple counties—including Cook, Kendall, Lake, and Will. Instances of such extraordinary consistency suggest a reality that demands further investigation rather than dismissal. Autumn is coming; it seems this narrative will unfurl significantly in the months ahead.
