Are "early votes" the same as "absentee" votes? According to this site, approximately 797,000 absentee ballots are in. The link breaks it down by county.

My son and I early voted back on 10/28 and it was the same as an absentee ballot including stuffing and signing the envelope, except we did it right in the village clerk’s office. My GF is in Texas and she did vote absentee but I dropped her ballot off instead of mailing it. We live in one of the ‘WOW’ counties and I doubt we’d have anything to worry about as far as shenanigans.

Yes I believe so. Mot entirely familiar with early voting processes in Wisconsin.
