Republican Atlantic City Mayor Concedes Defeat
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- Republican Atlantic City Mayor Don Guardian has conceded defeat in his re-election effort.
City Council President Frank Gilliam declared victory Tuesday night after an aggressive get-out-the-vote operation and after dissatisfaction with a state takeover of the city.
Guardian was the first Republican in a generation to lead Atlantic City.
Guardian had accused Democrats of voter fraud and asked for an investigation, but authorities remained silent through election day.
