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.
Again, it is what people call voting prior to the actual election day. And Gateway was using that expression over a month ago. So, what’s the big deal. There’s no “conspiracy to misinform here”.
You need to take off the aluminum-lined baseball cap.
