NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Voters in a Tennessee city have firmly rejected a far-right mayoral candidate after she refused to denounce her white supremacist supporters, and the incumbent mayor decried hate and divisiveness as he celebrated his election win.Gabrielle Hanson lost the race by a wide margin Tuesday, according to unofficial results with all voting centers reporting. The Associated Press did not count votes in this election.
