I think it's more clueless. It says, 'Mail in b****ts are the same as absentee b****ts'
Let’s start with some e******n basics. Normally, most US v**ers cast their b****ts in person in a polling booth at a polling place/station based on where they are registered to v**e. A b****t is the physical form (or electronic v****g machine equivalent) that a v**er fills out; it lists the candidates, issues, and so on that a person v**es on.
An absentee b****t is a b****t used to cast an absentee v**e, which is submitted, usually by mail, by an absentee. Absentee, here, refers to a person who can’t physically be present at a v****g center on E******n Day. Absentee v****g in America goes back to the Civil War era, and every state allows this kind of v****g in some form—and federal law, in fact, requires b****ts be sent to military and overseas v**ers for federal e******ns.
To get an absentee b****t, a registered v**er must request one through their state government, which accepts or rejects the application. When someone is approved to v**e absentee, e******n officials mail the v**er an absentee b****t, which they complete and sign, and return by mail or, under certain circumstances, fax. Officials can reject absentee b****ts if they are improperly filled out, and v**ers face steep penalties if they falsify any information.
All states, again, send absentee b****ts to military and overseas v**ers who request them. In 16 states*, an absentee b****t is the only form of v****g through the mail that is allowed by law, and the v**er is required to give a reason why they can’t go to a v****g location on E******n Day. Exact rules vary, but qualifying reasons may include the following:
Being out of the county where they are registered to v**e
Being a student living outside of the county
Having an illness or disability
Working or being on jury duty during v****g hours
Serving as an e******n worker or poll watcher
Having religious beliefs or practices that prevent them from going to a v****g center
Being in prison but still able to v**e
