Nearly 83% of Southborough voters hit the polls today and by a slim margin backed President Barack Obama. By a wider margin, the Southborough electorate favored Scott Brown in the Senate race, and incumbent Carolyn Dykema in what was a heated battle for representative of the 8th Middlesex District.
