Findings

Things worth a look on the 2024 candidates' campaign reports, checked against the Illinois Election Code. Each one quotes the rule it rests on and says what to check, including exceptions the reports can't show. They're prompts to look closer at public records, not conclusions.

In 2024, 68 of 258 candidates have something worth a look on their reports.
