One Small Patch Of Gubernatorial Common Ground

If there is one broad issue on which Bill Brady and Pat Quinn don't hold totally incompatible views, it's probably electoral and government reform. The two gubernatorial candidates filled out the CHANGE! Illinois candidate questionnaire and the coalition posted the results yesterday. Most notably, both support tighter lobbying rules, stiffer campaign contribution restrictions, and comprehensive redistricting reforms.

Still, they do differ on a few issues particularly important to progressive reformers. The Republican, for example, is undecided about whether the General Assembly should change where prison inmates are registered to vote. He also does not back public financing of elections in any capacity. Same-day voter registration, which is set to boost turnout by approximately 7 percent, isn't on his radar, either. You can find the full results here.
