3. What do you see as a distinction between mail in and absentee ballot?

This seems to be a distinction that Trump is making simply to muddy the water on bad voting while not looking the hypocrite for using it himself.

It seems to be the same thing to me. The only difference being whether the local rules allow you to do it without a reason.
