Early-voting turnout in San Antonio mayoral runoff suggesting trouble for Gina Ortiz Jones (D), expert says

What's more, Tuesday's turnout is the highest first-day early voting total since the contentious 2019 runoff between Mayor Ron Nirenberg and Greg Brockhouse, historical data indicates.

Of the top 10 busiest polling stations over the past two days, seven are located in districts 8, 9 and 10, accounting for 46% of the total votes cast, according to the Bexar Elections Department. Of the remaining three, one is located in District 6, the other in District 7 and the final at Wonderland of the Americas mall.

That high North Side turnout could be troubling news for Jones, UTSA's Taylor warned.

"If I was the Jones campaign, I would be getting my butt out there and start getting out the vote," Taylor said. "If the highest turnout is concentrated in the heavily conservative districts of 8, 9 and 10, then the Pablos campaign is making a concerted effort to make that early push. Most often in this town, if you win the early vote, you win the election."
