In the past it has been rumored that California doesn’t count absentee ballots if it appears all the races are statistically “decided”.

So how long do these pinheads get to return those ballots?

They do count all absentee ballots.

I haven’t sent mine in yet, tomorrow I’m going down to vote in person, instead.

Even if some races are statistically decided there are other races including some local races that come down to a few votes. I won’t see my friend who works for the registrar’s office for days after most elections. At least in her county all votes be counted before the election can be certified, sometimes several days to weeks after a election. The results will know but it ain’t official till it’s certified.

I bet they count only the liberal votes.

This is true but after the 2000 election I believe they passed legislation and it requires all ballots be counted. I think they will still call the election based on exit polling if the number of ballots is less than needed to win but they do count them and then certify I think
