| 57. Early votes very much like absentee ballots |
|
Early votes are cast with voters lacking as much information as election day voters.
Early votes are not counted on the day they are cast, but election day votes are.
In my state, (NC) early votes are considered absentee in person votes.
|
| -Hillary's Florida margin was down to only 4 percent by election day voters. |

she won in early votes, she won in late votes. Obama lost both. |
