State Republican governor's race still undecided

Republican Kirk Dillard says he will wait for results from the state before deciding what to do after the GOP primary for Illinois governor ended in a virtual tie.

Tuesday is the deadline for the state's 110 local election authorities to declare their results and then report them to the state.

State Board of Elections executive director Dan White says results from 32 election agencies were still outstanding Monday.

The state board won't certify final election results until March 5.

The Feb. 2 GOP primary ended with Dillard trailing state Sen. Bill Brady of Bloomington by only a few hundred votes.

The Brady camp says their tally shows Brady maintains a lead of nearly 250 votes.

The GOP winner will take on Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn in the November election.
