Questions raised by local Republicans about the integrity of the 2020 election in Kane County are based on a lack of understanding about election laws, the election process and the use of incorrect data, as shown in a bipartisan, comprehensive response Thursday.
A small group of Republicans, based mainly in the Campton Hills area, have spent the past couple months pushing county officials to have an independent, third-party, forensic audit of the 2020 election. The request is based on the group's interpretations of election data posted on the Kane County clerk's website and anecdotal experiences posted on conservative social media.
