reports of problems observed firsthand
Thanks for visiting the Illinois Election Incidents Hotsheet!

They say there are two things you don't want to see being made: sausage, and laws. Add a third: "elections."

Problems abound before, during, and after elections: Equipment failures, human error, happenstance. Not to mention malfeasance. Most fly under the radar. What does get aired is often filtered, pruned, condensed, and slanted to suit the publisher, whether newspaper, broadcaster, or government office.

What citizens really need are outlets where they can publish their own personal eye-witness reports—complete and intact, without filtering, editing, or watering down. Outlets that empower citizens to pinpoint, engage, and root out the deficiencies that corrupt our elections.
