Did Tom Brady vote for Donald Trump? Well, according to Tom Brady ... no.; Update: It's confirmed -- Brady has voted

Earlier Monday night, Donald Trump teased a big announcement at his rally in New Hampshire:

Big news to share in New Hampshire tonight! Polls looking great! See you soon.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 8, 2016

Apparently that big new was that New England Patriots star QB Tom Brady had already voted for Donald Trump:

Although many on Twitter quickly pointed out that Brady had said earlier on Monday that he had not yet voted and early voting Massachusetts was already over, meaning that either Trump or Brady was not telling the truth:

Brady said on @KirkAndCallahan this morning he hadn't voted yet. Early voting in Massachusetts ended Friday. https://t.co/PL7DgBJOKA

Brady saying he hasn't voted yet comes at 13:30 mark. Either way, no doubt in my mind he is voting for Trump. https://t.co/r6K4e0Vcuh

After Trump’s big announcement, campaign manager Kellyanne Conway tweeted that Brady supported Donald Trump, not necessarily that Brady had voted for him:

Another unforced error. As Trump surrogates go on TV tomorrow to make the final case for Trump, they’re only going to be asked about who’s telling the truth about the Brady vote/non-vote.

Update 8:47 a.m. 11/8: Tom Brady did vote absentee on Monday morning:
