<p>Somehow my unofficial beat during every election in San Antonio is to roam around and write about the problems and low-voter turnout that afflict our messy Democracy. While on &#8220;election snafu&#8221; patrol, I was relying on a list of voting sites put out by the Bexar County Elections Department. But the list of locations was in the dreaded <a href="http://www.bexar.org/elections/ElectionDayPollSites.pdf">pdf form</a> &#8212; not a very useful way to see at a glance which sites were in the neighborhoods I was interested in.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_12049" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-12049" style="width: 290px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://www.johntedesco.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Blog_Election-300x200.jpg?x87498" alt="A Bexar County polling site at Las Palmas Library" width="300" height="200" class="size-medium wp-image-12049" srcset="https://johntedesco.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Blog_Election-300x200.jpg 300w, https://johntedesco.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Blog_Election.jpg 680w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-12049" class="wp-caption-text">A Bexar County polling site at Las Palmas Library</figcaption></figure>There are a lot of online mapping tools out there. Today I tried out <a href="http://www.zeemaps.com/">ZeeMaps</a>, a free service. You upload a spreadsheet with addresses, ZeeMaps geocodes the locations for you, and generates an interactive Google map.</p>
<p>It was all relatively painless. I ended up relying <a href="http://www.zeemaps.com/149258">on this map</a> quite a bit today as I drove around checking voting sites.<br />

<p>A map like this is useful if you want to see the voting locations in your area. It also helps to show the sheer scale of Bexar County&#8217;s network of polling sites.</p>
