The request follows the distribution of incorrect ballots to hundreds of voters. Capitol News Illinois reported the ballots were distributed by the county clerk, who has been criminally indicted.

State Rep. Carol Ammons, D-Urbana, and Champaign County Clerk Aaron Ammons appeared outside the federal courthouse in Urbana on July 16, 2026, according to Capitol News Illinois.
