Your video guide to searching candidate spending on Illinois State Board of Elections website
Via Reboot Illinois

On this week’s “Only in Illinois,” I offer the second installment of a video tutorial for using the board of elections site. Last week we looked at sorting through campaign contribution reports. This week, I show how to load itemized statements from quarterly campaign finance reports into a spreadsheet so you can take a detailed look at a campaign’s expenditures.
