There is a big difference, under the recall rules of California you only need a small amount of signatures and I think $3500 to be on the ballot. So that is why there are going to be prolly 100 people on it.

In Illinois it is actually hard to get on a state-wide ballot. You need lots of sigs and most times they are contested by the leaders of the opposition (I have been through 2 contested signature fights for governor offices). IL politics is very very controlled by the two parties inside members, it is rare for someone to come in from the outside unless they have tons of money.
