Election drama as McMillin trails Hooper in Tennessee race
Nashville reports incomplete returns from Tuesday’s election show Hooper leading McMillin for governor by about 5,000 votes. Democratic hopes center on Syncoe for a narrow tie, with Patterson’s U.S. Senate bid likely failing. Some claim legislature will favor Patterson on joint ballot while others push Democratic hopes in counties. Presidential results show a large Wilson majority with details pending.
