Ballot scanner jams delay early voting at Leon Valley Conference Center

Bexar County elections officials confirmed scanner jams at Leon Valley Conference Center during early voting Oct. 20, 2026. Voters reported waits up to two hours. Elections administrator Michele Carew said ballots were falling improperly into the new scanner's box and it jammed around 1,200 ballots. Technicians and emergency bins were available. Some voters described a repair, but complete restoration and the affected-ballot total were not established. This was separate from ballot-style data errors and statewide registration backlogs; no cyber evidence was reported.
