Mail-in voting ≠ absentee voting, or is it?

Act 77 added extensive new sections to the Election Code, which distinguished between absentee and mail-in electors and provided procedures for the latter. See, e.g., 25 P.S. §§ 2602(z.6), 3150.11-3150.17. Indeed, the Election Code repeatedly distinguishes between “mail-in” and “absentee” voting and regulates each category differently, including in defining a qualified mail-in versus absentee elector and in regulating servicemember absentee ballots. See 25 P.S. § 2602 (defining “qualified mail-in elector”); 25 P.S. § 3146.7 (regulating military servicemember ballots). The legislative history of Act 77 confirms that the General Assembly understood itself to be creating a form of voting distinct from absentee ballots'. See Pa. H.

(CNN)President Donald Trump has repeatedly tried to draw a distinction between "mail-in voting" (which he thinks is bad and open to fraud) and "absentee voting" (which he says is good and might help him get reelected).

It's a confusing distinction because it doesn't really exist.
