Questionable counting? Come on, this is happening WAY to often! Is this the way of the future? We have an election, but we can’t honestly know if it is true or false as how can we trust that ALL ballots will be counted in the time up to reporting?
9,000 Mail-In Ballots Suddenly ‘Found’ in Illinois Election | Facts Matter

Facts Matter
Mar-27-2024
Three days ago, an official from the Chicago election board announced that roughly 9,000 mail-in ballots were mistakenly not counted in the Illinois state primary election that was held last week.
Or, to put it in other words, approximately 9,000 previously uncounted mail-in ballots were suddenly discovered sitting in a cage somewhere in Chicago.
The election official in question is Max Bever, director of public information at the Chicago Board of Elections. Here is part of the public statement that he released:
“In adding up the total number of Vote By Mail ballots the Board had received back so far, I mistakenly left out additional ballots [that came in by mail on the evening of March 18, a day prior to Election Day] … I traded speed for accuracy in reporting out numbers this week as quickly as I could. I truly regret this error on my part and for the confusion that it has caused the voters of Chicago. I will share updated numbers only when they are accurate and verified.”
Let me give you a little bit of background on this particular case, because the details are rather strange, to say the least.
