I Voted Part 2
I may have voted last Saturday, but hardly anyone else did. San Antonio has a population of around a million people, with almost 650,000 registered voters. Of those just over 115,000 cast votes, which gives us a turn out under 18% of registered voters (see this pdf file for details). To top it off the two people I voted for lost and the three propositions I voted against all won. There will be a run off election for mayor next month and I bet my new candidate will also lose, but I am still going to vote.

Oy, it is going to be very tough to vote for one of the two remaining mayoral candidates. I have to laugh that they are both now trying to cast themselves as fiscal conservatives; ha! I might have to just do a write-in when I vote.
