It looks like we may not have a GOP nominee for Illinois governor tonight. With 97.1 percent of the precincts reporting as of 12:15 am ET, state Sen. Bill Brady is the surprise leader, edging state Sen. Kirk Dillard by about 2,400 votes. Brady was the only downstate candidate; only Public Policy Polling (D) had him within the margin of error among the final polls. Of the six counties that still have outstanding precincts, Brady leads Dillard in four. But the counties where Dillard leads Brady had far more total votes cast.

In the Democratic race, Gov. Pat Quinn has been holding on to a lead of about 5,000 votes over Comptroller Dan Hynes. He's looking to avoid being the first incumbent governor to lose his party's primary since Alaska's Frank Murkowski finished third in a race won by Sarah Palin in 2006.

Results as of 12:15 am ET:
IL GOV (D): Quinn 50.3% -- Hynes 49.7%
IL GOV (R): Brady 20.6% -- Dillard 20.3% -- McKenna 18.9% -- Ryan 16.9% -- Andrzejewski 14.5%
