Why is Bexar County breaking early vote turnout records?

SAN ANTONIO – Bexar County voters have been coming out in record numbers to cast an early ballot in person.

A Bexar County Elections Department spokeswoman said Monday and Tuesday’s turnouts of 46,903 and 48,067 were both county records.

Presidential elections traditionally draw bigger turnouts. KSAT asked Jon Taylor, UTSA professor and Political Science & Geography Department chair, about why this year’s presidential election is different.

“It could be, again, just the voter enthusiasm,” Taylor, who also noted that polls appeared to be busy statewide, said. “Issues that are related directly to what voters are thinking about, be it reproductive choice, be it the border, be it the economy. Those are driving voters. It’s obvious.”
