He is going after Dem gov states. He loves Florida, they have a rep. gov and he appoints the SOS who is also a republican. Its in his bag, although he won it by slim votes in 2016 and the Gov also won by slim votes. He needs to win Florida.
It is amazing that the simple DISTINCTION between
"Absentee" and "
Mail-in or JUNK MAIL Process" is so hard to understand.
DEFINITIONS:
Voting by mail can be done by what’s called an absentee ballot or mail-in ballot. But there is a lot of confusion—and misinformation—around these methods, which vary widely state by state. What’s more, some people use these terms interchangeably, others mean different things by them, and yet others employ different words altogether.
What is an absentee ballot?
Let’s start with some election basics. Normally, most US voters cast their ballots in person in a polling booth at a polling place/station based on where they are registered to vote.
A ballot is the physical form (or electronic voting machine equivalent) that a voter fills out; it lists the candidates, issues, and so on that a person votes on.
An
absentee ballot is a ballot used to cast an absentee vote, which is submitted, usually by mail, by an absentee.
Absentee, here, refers to a person who can’t physically be present at a voting center on Election Day.
What is a mail-in ballot?
Five states—Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah, and Hawaii—already conduct their elections through a mail-in process that’s often referred to as all-mail voting.
Registered voters in these states automatically receive a mail ballot, which is sent to their address before Election Day and mailed back by the voter or deposited at a voting location or secure dropbox by a certain time on Election Day.
The takeaway:
An absentee ballot is generally used in every state to refer to a ballot filled out by a voter who cannot, for various reasons, physically make it to a voting location on Election Day.
A mail-in ballot is used more broadly to refer to ballots sent through the mail, including in all-mail voting states and some forms of absentee voting.
In the US, the classic image of election day is of people standing in line to cast a ballot inside a voting booth. But this image is changing, particularly with the increase in the use of absentee and mail-in ballots. With this change, there is a lot of confusion—and misinformation—around these...

They are going to mail to all registered voters ballots. Regardless if the voter is dead or alive. A human being or not!
Now again for those really dumb people like these reporters...
ABSENTEE means I formally ask for a ballot and it is mailed TO ME at my current address that I've given to the proper authorities.
MAIL-IN means blanket ballots are mailed to dead people, animals, anyone and anyone that receives the ballots can CAST their choice...a number of times!
Example Nevada:
The state of Nevada has approved a plan to send absentee ballots to all active voters this November,
The legislation will allow election officials to send absentee ballots to every
"active registered voter"
(REMEMBER!!! The voter maybe DEAD! Moved! But the voter didn't ASK) in the state. It will also extend the deadline for when mail-in ballots can be counted after Election Day, so mailed-in ballots can still be counted if they arrive one week after November 3.
The state of Nevada has approved a plan to send absentee ballots to all active voters this November, a major expansion of mail-in voting in the battleground state.

So I hope dummies understand the distinction here...
Absentee voting does have risks... no question.
MAIL-IN ballots though have a much greater risks.
Examples of MASS mail-in risks
According to the Los Angeles County Registrar's Office, which oversees voting systems for the area, too many ballots were sent to a single Los Angeles apartment in November 2016.
Social media posts in May 2020 claimed the incident was an example of the ballot-casting system's vulnerability to voter fraud.
