So the Early votes get counted on election day?

[brettdale]

And not before???

Also, when they start counting votes, do they do them in order?

eg: Early votes first, followed by election day?
Election day votes followed by early votes?
Any order???

1. Varies by state, though...

Some count early, some don't.

2. Ohio is already counting votes.

That includes absentee.

4. Depends on the state

Oregon is 100% VBM and they begin counting ballots a week before election day. All ballots must be received by 8 pm on election day though.

Some states don't begin to count mailed ballots until election day.

5. Depends

See the link in the above post. My state starts a week early so they're counting them already!

6. Depends- FL, AZ and NC can count before. Nt

7. Google "VOPP table 16" or see reply 3.

It lists all the states and how/when they process ballots.

9. Depends on states, bottom line, may have no impact if this is a wave

election. Florida is an easy indicator and key counties and precincts will tell within 2 hours of the polls closing.
