      I mean, that’s gonna be true regardless, but

      All told, 1,027,585 absentee ballots were reported on Oct. 20, 2020. As of Tuesday, this year’s combined total was 475,460.

      Early voting in Wisconsin is way down from what it was in 2020 (edit: on the same relative voting day).

        You’re looking at a total count after the election versus what is happening now.

        🤦

        Absentee is also not the same as early or mail-in tabular.

          No, like the article says:

          All told, 1,027,585 absentee ballots were reported on Oct. 20, 2020. As of Tuesday, this year’s combined total was 475,460.

            No, I’m seeing the numbers. You just don’t seem to understand how votes are counted and in what order.

            ABSENTEE IS NOT THE SAME AS EARLY OR MAIL-IN VOTES.

            🤦

                  That’s about counting the votes. The article posted, and what I’m talking about, are ballots cast, without noting who the votes were for in any elections thereon.

        2020 was covid and some places had extended early voting dates. Im Texas I think we did 20 days instead of 14 or something like that.
