CFR INVESTIGATES: CHICAGO’S 2027 ELECTION UNDER SCRUTINY Photocopied Petitions, Mass Signature Challenges & Possible Coordinated Election Fraud Chicago Flips Red is raising concerns about alleged election-law violations involving sitting elected officials. NBC Chicago reported nearly 100 pages of allegedly photocopied petitions involving Mayor Brandon Johnson. CFR is also examining allegations involving Monique Scott (24th Ward), Emma Mitts (37th Ward), and Police District Council member David Boykin, whose documents allegedly contain photocopied notarizations bearing a 2024 stamp. Under 10 ILCS 5/10-4, Illinois law requires original nomination petition sheets. Photocopies cannot substitute for originals. Meanwhile, mayoral candidate Danielle Carter-Walters faces challenges to approximately 13,800 signatures, involving voter addresses and signature genuineness. CFR questions whether these objections were supported by individualized evidence or broadly applied without adequate investigation. WHEN DOES A PATTERN BECOME ELECTION FRAUD OR CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY? Repeated irregularities alone do not establish criminal conduct. However, evidence of intentional forgery, falsified documents, or coordinated unlawful activity could warrant a criminal investigation. CFR is calling for independent examination of the allegations, verification of questionable notarizations, review of mass signature challenges, and equal enforcement of Illinois election law. Election integrity cannot have two sets of rules. CHICAGO FLIPS RED Independent. Accountable. Unapologetic. ALL HANDS ON DECK!

WE ARE CALLING FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY IN CHICAGO! We are calling on the @CivilRights . Department of Justice and @realDonaldTrump @JDVance to intervene and investigate allegations of election fraud and misconduct in Chicago, including any allegations involving Mayor Brandon Johnson and other elected officials. If Brandon Johnson remains on the ballot despite allegations of election wrongdoing, then every candidate running for office in 2027 deserves a fair and consistent process. LET ALL CANDIDATES REMAIN ON THE BALLOT AND LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE! There is no way petition challenges should be used to remove candidates without fair and equal enforcement of election laws, while allegations involving sitting elected officials go uninvestigated. We are tired of the allegations of cheating! We are tired of big-money politics! We are tired of the political machine deciding who gets an opportunity to run for office! WE WANT FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS! WE WANT ELECTION INTEGRITY! WE WANT TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY! The people of Chicago deserve the right to choose their leaders, not have those decisions made for them behind closed doors. LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE! I'm Danielle Carter-Walters, and I'm running for Mayor of Chicago in 2027. CHICAGOANS FIRST! @JessicaJackCFR @FlipChicagoRed #commonsensecarter #chicagoelectionfraud

🚨 CFR INVESTIGATES | NO FULL ACCOUNTING, NO BUDGET APPROVAL! CHICAGO FLIPS RED CALLS ON MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON AND CITY COUNCIL TO ANSWER 14 QUESTIONS BEFORE PASSING THE $17.6 BILLION FY2027 BUDGET! Chicago faces an $882 MILLION budget shortfall, yet taxpayers are still seeking a complete accounting of government spending, grants, departmental raises, and investments. CFR IS REQUESTING THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL APPROVES ANOTHER BUDGET! PENSIONS: Why are property taxes funding pension obligations while homeowners struggle with rising tax bills? CPS: Why does CPS continue receiving substantial TIF surplus funding when its budget approaches $10 BILLION and enrollment has declined? PARKING METERS: Why is the $75 MILLION parking meter payment going toward pensions instead of property tax relief? CORPORATIONS: How many corporations have left Chicago versus relocated here since May 2023? CTA: Why are trains and stations being used as homeless shelters, and what is the City’s solution? HOMELESSNESS: Where has four years of homelessness grant funding gone? Which organizations received it, and how many residents were permanently housed? MIGRANT CRISIS: Where is the complete accounting of migrant-crisis spending, including contractors, payments, and records withheld under FOIA exemptions? CITY RAISES: Why are departmental salaries and personnel costs increasing during an $882 MILLION shortfall? PROPERTY TAXES: How can City Hall promote no City property tax increase when homeowners face higher bills from reassessments and other taxing bodies? GRANTS: Where is the accounting for nearly $4 BILLION in proposed FY2027 grant appropriations and ALL grants approved since Johnson took office? FAIR SHARE BUDGET TOUR: Where are the contracts, recipients, audits, expenditures, and measurable results for the investments Johnson continues announcing? 40,000 YOUTH JOBS: How many young people actually received jobs, which organizations received funding, and how many secured permanent employment? AFFORDABLE HOUSING: How many unhoused Chicago residents, including families among the 22,438 CPS students identified as experiencing homelessness during the 2024–25 school year, have received permanent affordable housing or homeownership assistance? Where are the completed units? NONUNION RESIDENTS: Who is organizing for nonunion workers, seniors, taxpayers, and small-business owners? How many grievances have been heard and resolved? Where is their representation beyond unions and politically connected organizations? CFR’S POSITION IS CLEAR: Before City Council approves the FY2027 budget, the administration should provide a comprehensive, publicly accessible accounting of taxpayer-funded investments, grant recipients, departmental spending, contracts, and measurable results since May 2023. NO FULL ACCOUNTING? NO BUDGET APPROVAL! Chicago taxpayers deserve receipts, not just numbers, flyers, and budget tour promises! ALL HANDS ON DECK! CHICAGO FLIPS RED Independent. Accountable.

🚨 CFR INVESTIGATES | BRANDON JOHNSON RESPONDS TO CITY COUNCIL’S FY2027 BUDGET CHALLENGE! On November 10, Chicago’s Budget Accountability Coalition informed Mayor Brandon Johnson that he lacked the 26 votes needed to pass his $17.6 BILLION budget amid an $882 MILLION shortfall. Council members questioned $119.8 MILLION in unitemized savings, $480 MILLION in borrowing, new taxes, and increased spending. JOHNSON RESPONDED THE SAME DAY! The mayor defended his Fair Share Budget, outlining proposed increases: $8M — Quality of Life $3.7M — Forestry $1.25M — Rodent Control $30.4M — Housing and Homelessness $24M — Youth Employment and Early Childhood BUT CFR HAS MORE QUESTIONS! Why are departmental personnel budgets increasing while Chicago faces an $882 MILLION deficit? Where is the accounting for employee raises, new positions, administrative salaries, and benefits? WHAT ABOUT THE NEARLY $4 BILLION IN PROPOSED FY2027 GRANT APPROPRIATIONS AND ALL GRANT FUNDING APPROVED SINCE JOHNSON TOOK OFFICE IN MAY 2023? CFR is demanding a comprehensive accounting of federal, state, and local grants approved, awarded, distributed, and spent throughout his administration. WHO RECEIVED THE MONEY? WHICH NONPROFITS AND CONTRACTORS? WHICH WARDS BENEFITED? WHAT SERVICES WERE DELIVERED? And where is the detailed accounting for ALL the investments Johnson promotes during his Fair Share Budget tour? The mayor’s response outlines proposed spending increases but does not provide a complete accounting of grant recipients, expenditures, or measurable outcomes. CHICAGO TAXPAYERS DESERVE RECEIPTS, NOT JUST NUMBERS, FLYERS, AND BUDGET TOUR PROMISES! ALL HANDS ON DECK! Chicago Flips Red | Independent. Accountable. Unapologetic.

🚨 CFR ELECTION WATCH | MEET JAMES ROSAS: HEARING OFFICER ASSIGNED TO DANIELLE CARTER-WALTERS’ MAYORAL PETITION CHALLENGE! CHICAGO — November 9, 2026 Chicago mayoral candidate Danielle Carter-Walters began her first day of proceedings before the Chicago Electoral Board following objections to her 2027 mayoral nomination petitions. Case No. 27-EB-MUN-011 was filed by Patricia Rae Easley, Rickey R. Hendon, and Earl C. Williams, Sr. Attorney James Rosas is the assigned hearing officer. Carter-Walters has retained legal counsel to represent her during the proceedings. WHO IS JAMES ROSAS? Rosas has previously served as a hearing officer in Chicago election disputes involving aldermanic and school board candidates. In 2023, Rosas handled a petition challenge involving Joseph Mercado, a candidate for alderman of Chicago’s 12th Ward. Rosas recommended invalidating Mercado’s nomination papers over a required Statement of Economic Interests filing. The Chicago Electoral Board sustained the objection, resulting in Mercado’s exclusion from the ballot. Rosas was also assigned to the 2023 petition challenge involving former 26th Ward Alderman Roberto Maldonado, who subsequently withdrew his candidacy. In 2024, Rosas served as hearing officer in a petition challenge involving Felipe “Phil” Luna Jr., a candidate for Chicago’s 7th School Board District. WHY DOES THIS MATTER? Hearing officers examine petition challenges, review evidence, and make recommendations concerning whether candidates have complied with Illinois election law. The Chicago Electoral Board ultimately determines whether to accept those recommendations. The objections against Carter-Walters include challenges involving petition signatures and her use of a hyphenated married surname. Monday’s hearing was the beginning of the proceedings, and no final determination has been made regarding Carter-Walters’ nomination papers. CFR WILL CONTINUE MONITORING THE HEARINGS, THE EVIDENCE, AND THE ELECTORAL BOARD’S FINAL DECISIONS. Chicago voters deserve transparency, accountability, and equal application of election laws.

🚨 CFR ELECTION WATCH | MEET LINDA R. CRANE: HEARING OFFICER ASSIGNED TO BRANDON JOHNSON’S PETITION CHALLENGE! CHICAGO — November 9, 2026 Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is facing multiple challenges to his 2027 mayoral nomination petitions, including Case No. 27-EB-MUN-006, filed by Jessica R. Jackson and Zoe Marsh-Leigh. Attorney Linda R. Crane is the assigned hearing officer in the case. During Monday’s proceedings, Barbara Goodman temporarily stood in for Crane. WHO IS LINDA R. CRANE? Crane is an Illinois attorney with decades of legal experience who has previously served as a hearing officer in Chicago election disputes. In the 2023 case Bean v. Board of Election Commissioners, Crane recommended sustaining an objection that would remove an aldermanic candidate from the ballot. The Chicago Electoral Board unanimously adopted her recommendation, resulting in the candidate’s exclusion from the ballot. In another election matter, Case No. 23-EB-PDC-028, Crane recommended invalidating nomination papers. However, the Electoral Board rejected that recommendation and allowed the candidates to remain on the ballot. WHY DOES THIS MATTER? Hearing officers review evidence, examine objections, and make recommendations. The three-member Chicago Electoral Board ultimately determines whether to accept those recommendations. Johnson’s current petition challenges include allegations involving photocopied petition sheets and questions about compliance with Illinois election law. No final determination has been made in the Jackson and Marsh-Leigh objection. CFR WILL CONTINUE MONITORING THE HEARINGS, THE EVIDENCE, AND THE ELECTORAL BOARD’S FINAL DECISIONS. Chicago voters deserve an election process that follows the law and holds every candidate to the same standards. ALL HANDS ON DECK! Chicago Flips Red | Independent. Accountable. Unapologetic.

🚨 CHICAGO ELECTION PETITION CONTROVERSY: MORE PHOTOCOPIES? Brandon Johnson isn’t the only Chicago candidate facing questions about photocopied nomination petitions! Now, 24th Ward Alderwoman Monique Scott allegedly has photocopied petition sheets as well. It’s giving a PATTERN that deserves investigation! Could there be coordinated election misconduct? That’s a question election authorities need to examine. LET’S LOOK AT ILLINOIS LAW! 10 ILCS 5/10-4 expressly requires that all filed nomination petition sheets be originals signed by voters and circulators—not photocopies or duplicates. NBC Chicago has already reported allegations involving nearly 100 photocopied pages in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s nomination petitions. If multiple candidates submitted photocopied petitions, Chicago voters deserve to know: * Who prepared and submitted these sheets? * Were the photocopies knowingly included? * Were any circulators’ sworn certifications false? * Will the Chicago Electoral Board apply the law equally to every candidate? Election integrity means accountability for EVERYONE! Chicago Flips Red | Flipsred.com #ChicagoFlipsRed #ElectionIntegrity #ChicagoPolitics #ChicagoElections
