Illinois primary election results thread

It’s just about 9:00, and the polls in the Illinois primary election race have been closed for about an hour. The Chicago Sun-Times is tracking the results as they come in. So far, only 24% of precincts are reporting in, and here is what they’re showing so far on the GOP end:

US Senate, GOP Primary:

  • Mark Kirk: 65%
  • Patrick Hughes: 18%
  • Don Lowery: 5%
  • Kathleen Thomas: 5%
  • Andy Martin: 4%
  • John Arrington: 3%

Governor, GOP Primary:

  • Andy McKenna: 28%
  • Jim Ryan: 21%
  • Kirk Dillard: 18%
  • Adam Andrzejewski: 16%
  • Dan Proft: 10%
  • Bill Brady: 6%
  • Bob Schillerstrom: 1%

County Board President, GOP Primary

  • Roger Keats: 63%
  • John Garrido: 37%

I hate to say it, but it sure looks unlikely that Andrzejewski is going to walk away with the GOP nomination. There are still only 24% of precincts reporting at the time of this posting, however, so there’s still some hope, I guess. Mark Kirk has a handy lead in the Senate race, which is to be expected.

On the Democratic side, Gov. Pat Quinn is leading Dan Hynes 53% – 47% and Alexi Giannoulias has a five point lead. This is also pretty much to be expected.

The Sun-Times will be updating with results all night. In the meantime, consider this an open election thread.
