First, you know that those links both show that the expression “early voting” is used in the vernacular for all early voting. Not that you would admit it.
Second, you didn’t object earlier, but now you object.
Third, I hope you are as hard on yourself when you don’t used precise terminology to describe everything in your life. Live by the standard, die by the standard.
Yeah, by the same source you already posted and by DC Whispers (snort).
Look, I can understand you using the term generically. You may not realize that there's a difference between absentee and early voting. But the authors of those pieces are ostensibly politically literate and their misuse of the term isn't an accident.
I already posted the Florida Division of Elections definition which makes it clear. Further, why are there so many stories around today about early voting starting in Florida?
Do you think all of those sources don't realize that absentee ballots have been mailed out and some of them may have already been returned?
We've already spent more time discussing this sleazy article than it deserves - let's see if we can actually find some useful information on the state of play.
