Casting Your Vote, cont.
So what does our little precinct tour mean? In terms of drawing conclusions, nothing. It wasn’t scientific, it wasn’t random, it wasn’t even planned. We’re pretty certain about the number of machines available but we could have easily missed some of the poll workers. Our observations prove nothing.
It does mean that somewhere someone should have some numbers that look something like this:
| Time 3:30 | Precincts | Votes | Machines | Workers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blanco | 3 | 477 | 8 | 6 |
| School | 6 | 244 | 6 | 2 |
| Jones | 3 | 666 | 6 | 4 |
| Vance Jackson | 3 | 430 | 4 | 4 |
| Voters Per | ||||
| Blanco | 159.0 | na | 59.6 | 79.5 |
| Schools | 40.7 | na | 40.7 | 122.0 |
| Jones | 222.0 | na | 111.0 | 166.5 |
| Vance Jackson | 143.3 | na | 107.5 | 107.5 |
| Total | 121.1 | na | 75.7 | 113.6 |
And based on such numbers from this year and previous years, the elections administrator would assign resources. So while these numbers obviously exist, the question is who has them and are they actually being used?

I tried to call to get the complete totals for the precincts we checked but they are closed for veterans day. Stay tuned because we will have complete numbers next week.
**UPDATE** Bexar County Elections say the precinct by precinct numbers will be up tomorrow.
