NO, MAIL-IN VOTING IS NOT THE SAME AS ABSENTEE BALLOT VOTING: Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL) is the Ranking Minority Member of the House Administration Committee, which oversees the daily operations of the lower chamber of Congress and oversight of federal elections. He’s been an aggressive battler of the Democrats’ mail-in voting proposals and their proxy voting system for House members.

In the following video, Davis talks with Washington state Secretary of State Kim Wyman, who, among much else, explains why and how Nancy Pelosi’s mail-in voting proposal is a far cry from using an absentee ballot. The difference is subtle but profoundly important, according to Wyman, who oversees her state’s mail-in system, which, Oh-By-The-Way, requires voter ID to vote.
