Why Bexar County mail-in ballots skewed blue
SAN ANTONIO โ As key battleground states continue to tally up mail-in ballots, the results are generally favoring Joe Biden โsomething Bexar County saw as well in its results. Biden, who received 58% of the overall vote in Bexar County, won a much larger percentage of the absentee ballot alone โ 72%. Demonte Alexander, the director of public affairs at Bexar Facts, says a big turnout was a sure thing for the election. However, Alexander, who has a background with Democratic campaigns, thinks it was the COVID-19 pandemic that drove the demand for mail-in ballots. The most recent KSAT-SA Report-Bexar Facts poll found a sharp divide between how Democrats and Republicans viewed voting by mail.
