It's ridiculous how many Leftist actually believe mail in ballots are the same as absentee ballots.
Nor do they understand what the difference is.
There is no difference between mail in ballots and absentee ballots.... it all depends on what your state decides to call it....
In Florida, it is called a mail in ballot, and my state too....And not called an absentee ballot anymore...
The liar in chief, has tried to change the meaning of terms that have ALWAYS been known as synonymous...
Mail in ballot or absentee ballot, one and the same.
Why should we have to change the meaning of these terms for Trump?
How a State legally determines to distribute them, or to whom.... does not change the fact, that a mail in ballot and absentee ballot, are one and the same.
Actually, there IS a difference. If you have mail-in voting, you won't have absentee voting. If you have absentee voting you won't have mail-in voting. Even though they both share the same results.
Absentee Voting, you have to request a ballot to be sent to you while the Mail-in voting means that all registered voters will be sent the votes. I voted Absentee for all my 20+ years in the USAF but I had to request it. Today, for the state of Colorado, all Service Members that are registered to vote will have their votes sent directly to their place of record. And believe it or not, since it's the Military, even if you have PCSed recently, that ballot will still be sent to you.
When you, as a sillyvillian, move, you fill out a change of address card. That means if your ballot is mistakenly sent to your old address and you haven't updated your DMV record then it should be sent to your new address. I can't speak for other states, but Colorado has a site where you can check the data where your voting information is and mine is just fine. That site also gives you the option to update your information if it's incorrect. Like I said, the other way is to follow the law and update your DL license information like you are required to do since that is where they get the information for voting.
If you are in a state that just doesn't give a crap, I would say that you should move to one that does as your elections are probably wrought with fraud no matter whether you are voting by mail or in person.
No!!!
That is NOT TRUE AT ALL.
My state and Florida calls it Mail in Ballot or absentee but mail in, is more commonly used now, and neither State mails it to all registered voters...
I request my mail in ballot, and can do so, with no excuse needed...
Each state has their own rules on who can request an absentee ballot... most states now, I think it is something like 34 of them, can request a mail in ballot with no excuse needed.... but other states makes it much harder to request an absentee ballot and only certain people can request them, if they are in the military, or if they are older than 65, or if they will be out of town, or are disabled.... Texas does something like this.... And even this year, Texas will not allow anyone else get a mail in/absentee ballot.... not even if their citizen is afraid of catching covid, the State won't allow it!!!!
What has now become a new term ....is UNIVERSAL Mail in ballot.....
This Universal absentee ballot is the term created by some, for a State who is mailing all registered voters, an absentee/mail in ballot without a request for one.
Only 3 states so far have said they were going to do that due to covid fears... besides the 5 states that do their elections by mail every year, as per their law....
