Chicago Down 60,000 Registered Voters

WLS-TV reports:

Voter registration results for the November election could help one candidate in the race for governor.

Considering that Illinois' last two elected governors are now convicts, one might think there would be a surge in voter registration to stop the corruption. But, with regular voter registration for the November 2 election now closed, there has not been a dramatic rise in people signing up to have a say in who runs state government.

"We're down about 60,000 registered voters from where we were two years ago," said Chicago Election Board Chairman Langdon Neal.
