Comment on Why is voting before the deadline in US elections referred to as 'early voting'?

  Both answers are correct. 20 years divides into 5 sets of 4, but that’ would only be 5 elections if you started counting on an election year.

  “Approaching 20 years” so exactly 20 years ago is 2004, which makes 5 elections not counting the present one: Bush Jr. 2.0, Obama, Obama 2.0, Trump, Biden. Figuring this person turned 18 and registered to vote in, say 2006 and missed voting in the 2004 election, that would be 18 years and 4 elections, this current one would be 5.
