Brady Ruled GOP Gov. Winner

The State Board of Elections has spoken and by a very narrow margin of 193 votes, state Sen. Bill Brady has been ruled the winner in the GOP's gubernatorial race. That's just .025 percent of the vote. But it's enough that Brady's opponent, state Sen. Kirk Dillard, will very likely concede the race to Brady at a press conference this afternoon, setting the stage for Brady to take on Gov. Pat Quinn in this fall's general election. [Tribune]
