44. They did explain that due to more states doing "early voting"

May 2024

(whether "in person" or mail), the timing of the first would occur before that early voting for the general election started (and in this case, it would be just after the last of the primaries and before the conventions).

The 2nd debate would be happening just as some states would start "early voting".

Big mistake, IMO. lark May 2024 #1
