Maybe that is why Ohio was declared so early, even though it was a much closer race than I anticipated. We run a pretty tight ship up here. Why did some states allow mail-in balloting if absentee ballots were available? This makes no sense to me.

This is what everyone has been saying for months now and you argued incessantly with them.  Now you get it?  SMH.

I never argued about it. I only know of how things are done in my state. I assumed I lived in a country where we had enough common sense to conduct a national election in a uniform way, to avoid chaos. I was wrong. On my local news, they refer to absentee ballots as "mail-ins". After the difference was explained to me, I looked up my state election rules and saw that Ohio only does absentee ballots, early in person voting and in person voting on election day, yet they still call absentee voting "mail-in" voting here. If you don't know how things are done in other states, it's easy to get confused. I never had any unrequested ballots sent to me, so I assumed every state ran like mine. I thought mail-ins were ballots had to be requested by citizens like mine was. Again, this is another example of the system being so messed up for no good reason. It's such an easy fix, why don't we do something about it? Who ever wins the election should file an Executive Order to make all states adhere to the same voting process. They should also end this stupid daylight savings time too.
