UF note: Idaho's daily absentee file covers mail ballots only - in-person early voting counts are scraped separately from the state's own dashboard (https://voteidaho.gov/data-and-dashboards/absentee-tracker/) and added in as a single statewide/county total, with no party, age, or gender breakdown available for it (the dashboard's own party breakdown mixes mail and in-person together, so it can't be used to split out the in-person-only portion). Congressional and state-legislative district totals are mail ballots only and do not include in-person early voting, so they will run lower than the statewide/county totals.
