Virginia voters cast special election for 38th Senate seat
Voters in Tazewell, Buchanan, Russell, Wythe, Bland and parts of Washington counties head to polls from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. to choose among Roger Rife, Phillip Puckett and Jerry Ward for the vacant 38th District seat after Sen. Jack Reasor’s retirement. Both parties seek to gain Senate control ahead of 1999 General Assembly races as campaign funds show Rife and Puckett near equal totals. Ward trails with far less fundraising.
