I know leftists who I believe vote in NY and Florida via early voting in Florida. I have a problem with early voting. Absentee Ballots on the other hand, are bad enough but they usually are only used in a tie breaker situation
In the Florida county I live in, absentee ballots are counted along with all the ones cast on election day. I believe only military ballots are allowed to come in late. Absentee ballots must be received by the supervisor of elections by election day.
