Bexar County judge says eight polling locations close due to COVID-19 fears
SAN ANTONIO - Early voting is underway for run off elections in Bexar County and will end Friday.
So far, more than 36,000 have voted early. About 23,000 have already sent in mail-in ballots.
Judge Nelson Wolff says some polling locations are closing as staff helping to run those sites are fearful because of a lack of protection.
"We're gonna have to have eight less because limited protection for them in terms of what they're trying to do and anyone can come in without a mask," Wolff said Wednesday night.
Tuesday, Wolff said the average age of election officials is 72 years old.
"I voted at Lion Field two, three days ago and there were people who refused to wear em," Wolff said. "Have some respect for soembody else other than yourself."
