SAN ANTONIO – Despite heavy rains and flooding, more than 50,000 voters cast ballots on election day adding to a record number of early voters to total the best turnout for a May election in San Antonio’s history with more than 17% of eligible voters casting a ballot.
Voters were driven to the polls largely by a contentious proposition related to policing and the mayor’s race. The mayor’s race was called relatively early in the night, after early vote totals were released, while Proposition B was too close to call until right up to the end.
