Illinois Democrat Pat Quinn, who became governor when Rod Blagojevich was impeached and ousted in 2009, will remain the state’s chief executive, the Associated Press says.
Republican Bill Brady, a state senator, won’t be able to overcome Quinn’s 19,400-vote lead from the Nov. 2 election, the news service reported after analyzing the results. Quinn led by 46.6 percent to 46.1 percent with all precincts counted, according to AP. Almost 3.7 million votes were cast.
