Day by day, saved since Oct 29
We started saving each state's count on Oct 29, so the line is short and grows with every report. Only one report is saved for Mississippi so far. Each date is the one the office gives for its count, so a first report can be dated a day before we saved it. Nothing earlier is filled in.

How this comparison is built
- Same point means the same number of days before Election Day: 8 days out in both years.
- 2024 source: Mississippi Secretary of State, weekly November General Election absentee report (BP-035), 2024.
- Mississippi reports once a week (Mondays), so only those dates exist; others are omitted, not filled.
- The count is all absentee ballots in the state system, which can include in-person absentee ballots cast at circuit clerk offices. The report does not separate mail from in-person.
- The report gives a date, not a time of day.
