@theartistpatri1 @ggreenwald Each state has its own rules, but a common issue is counting all votes postmarked by Election Day - which may take a few days post election to arrive and be processed.
@theartistpatri1 @ggreenwald Local election offices collaborate w USPS to collect the local ballots quickly but if you drop an absentee ballot in the mail from another state or APO it takes time to arrive.
