according to your state it is a distinction without a difference, Only in the debate of semantics is this even a valid discussionQuote:

Even my state says they are two different situations. I am NOT absentee (away from my precinct). Absentee voters who are away from their precinct on election day and those voters who are unable to travel to a polling place because of physical/mental/developmental problems do send via USPS their mail-in ballots. But those are different reasons why mail-in ballots are permitted.Quote:

Absentee ballot = voter's body is far away from home and their precinctQuote:

So in both cases the person gets an absentee ballot and mails it in? Doesn't that still pretty much amount to a distinction without, at the very least, a meaningful difference?
I get a real ballot. I'm where I should be, at my address on file in the county election office.Quote:

Did the others get a fake ballot?
Have never seen one. The way the repubes scream, it must be.Quote:
