Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn has declared victory in the state's Democratic gubernatorial primary, even though his challenger says the fight isn't over.
Quinn held a small lead over Illinois Comptroller Dan Hynes early Tuesday morning with not all the votes counted.
With 99 percent of precincts reporting, each man had about 50 percent of the vote.
But Quinn, the embattled successor to disgraced former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, has told supporters he's won the close race.
Minutes earlier, Hynes vowed to fight until every vote was counted.
At Defender press time, no winner had been officially declared. AP
