Editing Bexar County, Texas (section)

==Politics==
As an urban county, Bexar County has voted for [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] candidates in most presidential elections. From 1932 to 2012 it was a nationwide bellwether, supporting the winner in every election except 1968. Former Governor of Texas [[George W. Bush]] remains the last Republican to carry the county in presidential elections.

Democrats perform well within the [[Interstate 410|Connally Loop]], which contains heavily Hispanic neighborhoods on the south and west sides of San Antonio, and African Americans on the east side. In recent years, Democrats have made inroads on the Northwest Side toward the [[University of Texas at San Antonio]], and the Northeast Side toward Kirby. Republicans' strength is concentrated around the military bases plus wealthier enclaves such as Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, and the far northern section of the county.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/politics/article/Interactive-How-Bexar-County-voted-in-the-2016-10606312.php|title=Interactive: How Bexar County voted in the 2016 presidential election|last=Tedesco|first=John|date=November 10, 2016|work=San Antonio Express News}}</ref>
