Polling was relatively light in early morning voting in the key swing northern Virginia suburbs in the Webb/Allen Senate race. At a community center in Dale City, down the Potomac from Washington, there was a small line by 8:30 with officials claiming 155 people having already voted. “I was a veteran,” said Clyde Lawrence, who voted for Allen. “You’ve got to back the troops regardless of what’s going on.”
