CHICAGO, IL — Unite4Freedom released its Illinois Vote Tampering Report today. New analysis compares official Illinois voter history data from multiple post-certification snapshots of Illinois federal elections and identifies changes to federal election records after elections were certified. The Report documents changes made to individual voter history records.

Using official Illinois voter participation data obtained after certification of a given election, U4F analysts compared voter history records from multiple timestamped snapshots of the state’s voter database. The report focuses on changes made after election certification and after official election records should have been preserved and maintained. The voter participation history changes affect the 2020, 2022, and 2024 federal election cycles.

What do the Reports show?

According to the 2024 report comparing just TWO snapshots (the first from January 24, 2025 and the second from May 13, 2026):

• 109,976 voters previously recorded as having voted were later shown as NOT having voted.
• 15,119 voters previously recorded as NOT having voted were later shown as having voted.
• 111,268 voters appearing in the first snapshot of the data were entirely missing from the second snapshot.
• 17,664 voters with a history showing they voted in the election appeared in the second snapshot, but did NOT exist in the first snapshot.
• In total there were 254,027 changes made to Illinois’s 2024 certified election records.

The results of analyses from 2022 and 2020 showed similar results. Comparing three snapshots in 2022, there were 288,447 total changes. In 2020, comparisons of three snapshots showed 465,108 total changes.

The Illinois findings raise a fundamental question

If election results were accurate when certified, why are voter histories associated with those certified elections continuing to change years later?

Under both federal and state law, election officials certify election results as accurate. Certification represents an official declaration that election processes were completed, ballots were counted, and results are correct.

Either election officials certified records that were not accurate at the time certification occurred, or changes were made to official federal election records after certification. There is not a third option! The records changed, and election officials must explain why.

“What exactly did Illinois certify? Can they prove it?” asked U4F Chairman, Harry Haury. “Election certification is supposed to be a final statement that election records are accurate. Election records should not become moving targets. Citizens are entitled to transparency, accountability, and proof that election records remain accurate long after certification.”

Federal elections must follow federal law

The Help America Vote Act requires states to maintain a single, uniform, official statewide voter registration list containing every legally registered voter, while federal record-retention laws require preservation of election records sufficient to document the results and conduct of federal elections.

The Illinois report is part of a broader national series examining election records maintained by state election officials. Similar analyses conducted by Unite4Freedom have identified post-certification record changes in other states.

U4F is calling on Illinois election officials to publicly explain:

• Why do Illinois certified voter history records continue to change years after the elections?
• Who authorized those changes, under what authority, and where are the records that demonstrate those changes?
• What controls exist to prevent unauthorized modification of election records?
• How can Illinois citizens have confidence in the result of their elections and independently verify that certified election records are accurate and complete?
