Examples of absentee in a Sentence

1. Mark Lindeman:

   I support the objective of live streaming the audit and I vividly remember Philadelphia livestreaming their absentee ballot counting 24/7 without the involvement of One America News Network, i do not understand why the Arizona Senate has not found a way to do the same thing.

2. Rahul Garabadu:

   There is a direct correlation between the state’s sweeping anti-voter law, S.B. 202, and Cobb County’s failure to get over a thousand registered voters their absentee ballots, the anti-voter law put tremendous pressure on elections officials to accomplish a number of responsibilities under a very tight deadline, and in Cobb County, that pressure has resulted in a huge error and hundreds of voters at risk of being disenfranchised.

3. Jocelyn Benson:

   With turnout and absentee ballot numbers expected to double or even triple in November, we could be looking at tens of thousands of Michigan citizens disenfranchised if the legislature again fails to act.

4. Taylor Alexander:

   My initial reaction was that I was kind of shocked, and laughed because of the irony of it, because President Trump had been railing against mail-in voting, but here President Trump party was, promoting it, and sending out an absentee ballot request form, i think it's ridiculous that the funding is being cut and processes are being changed in the post office. People's life saving medication are days late, bills aren't being paid on time, and all for what ? It's rigging the election.

5. Sheli DeLaney:

   I live alone, I work from home most of the time, I don't have that many people over, and time was short, so I took it to the post office. I figured that would be the most legit choice anyway, in case anyone was going to scrutinize the absentee ballots and try to discredit them.
