Thousands line up at San Antonio polling sites as early voting begins in person
Bexar County voters waited in line for hours at multiple polling sites as early voting for the high-interest Nov. 3 election kicked off countywide Tuesday morning amid some complaints but mostly patience.
The day began with the joyful sounds of live mariachi music reverberating across the West Side, as Our Lady of the Lake University, this year observing its 125th anniversary, opened the first voting site in the school’s history.
George Williams, vice president of student affairs at OLLU, said the polling site on “this sacred campus” will help shape “the next generation of leaders.”
Theresa Lankford, one of the first people to cast a ballot at the new polling location, said she and her husband, Roland, chose it because they expected few people to be there. The year has been a tough one for them. Their son was hit with COVID-19 and was in intensive care for a week.
“It was the most devastating thing that my husband and I have ever faced. But he’s doing well now, thank God,” Lankford, 62, said.
