5. Absentee ballots are often not counted until much later not on election
night. At least not in my state and most that I have knowledge of. They are usually counted after the hoopla is over and usually not enough to change the outcome of any but the very closest races.

In this case, it could be other precincts with special hours (not unlike Dixville Notch) that have local hours assigned to them for one reason or another that don't fit the norm for the rest of the state. Just a guess, though I don't think they are absentees at all.
