I Voted
Today was San Antonio's election for mayor and city council. This is probably only the first round since no one will probably win a majority. There will probably be a runoff between Castro (who recently made national news by having his twin brother stand in for him at a fiesta event) and either Schubert or Harberger. I voted for Schubert, but would not be too disappointed if Hardberger makes the runoff instead. I also voted against the two sales tax hikes and against the tax freeze for old homeowners, but did not care too much about the tax freeze. Our sales tax is too high already in San Antonio so I hope both of those increases lose.
I voted for Weston Martinez for city council and was disappointed in the Wolff supporters near the poling place who tried to get me to vote for him instead. Most of them did not seem to know how to read people's body language as I intentionally avoided eye contact with them, yet one woman still tried to give me literature. I wonder how many people make their decision on who to vote for by who gives them literature two minutes before they vote. I bet some do, but others may be turned off by it.
