A sweeping U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) review has uncovered over 260,000 deceased individuals still listed on voter rolls nationwide—along with thousands of non-citizens registered to vote in federal elections. Now, the DOJ is demanding that Illinois hand over its complete statewide voter-registration database, unredacted, as part of a broader push to enforce federal election-integrity laws. Some states are cooperating; others, including Illinois, are resisting. The stakes for 2026 could not be clearer.… Continue Reading

On July 22, 2025, the Committee on House Administration held a hearing titled, “Clean Rolls, Secure Elections: Reviewing Voter List Maintenance Standards.” The hearing focused on the importance of maintaining accurate voter registration lists to protect the integrity of our elections.

The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), also known as the “Motor Voter Law,” was designed to increase voter participation in federal elections while also requiring states to maintain accurate and up-to-date voter rolls.… Continue Reading

Recent news seems to have fired up some grassroots and even maybe some conservative GOP leaders. The question proposed recently is this: should the Illinois GOP endorse or not endorse candidates in the primary?

In free and fair elections, why not just let the voters decide? Why would the Illinois GOP want to endorse in the primary if we are all, in fact, for free and fair elections? What would be the REAL reason why the Illinois GOP would want to endorse in the primary?… Continue Reading

Interestingly, the Herald‘s editorial board also skewered some proponents who tried to use the abortion issue as a reason to vote for Amendment 1.

The Daily Herald on September 29 hosted a joint endorsement session with multiple newspapers around the state. … Continue Reading
