Dear Keith,

Thanks so much. This is very helpful.

Hope you’re staying safe and healthy and that your Zoom teaching (or whatever the equivalent) will go well.

Shorter answer: we report absentee, early, and election day totals as different tallies, so one might compare.

Subject: [EL] Question for the list about tabulation of early in-person votes

How are early, in-person votes tabulated if people vote early at county office buildings or voting centers or the like?  Do those votes get attributed or sent to a voter's precinct for processing before election day itself, or are they somehow included in the election day total?

Many thanks for any information y'all have.  I'm writing a short piece that discusses, among other things, the blue shift and wonder whether these votes play into that one way or another.
