(12,344 posts)Laws on that vary by state and don't always make sense.

(244 posts)Its the ones received after Tuesday that are outstanding. I dont know if theyve started processing these yet and nobody seems to know how many there are. In any event, the results wont be reported until sometime after the 12th.

(244 posts)Why is counting ballots received after Election Day OK in states that Trump is likely to win, but not OK in states where hes losing?
Speaking from NC...

(31,407 posts)Various county boards processed about 3200 absentee ballots today and 4750 absentee ballots last Friday. Absentee ballots continue to trickle in and will be counted through Nov 12th.
There are still about 94,900 absentee ballots that were requested but not returned outstanding. It's anybody's guess how many of those will be returned at this point. Lots of people may have requested an absentee ballot and decided to vote in person.
