Washington state has mail in ballots.
Because they "count ALL the ballots", even when mailed after the official cut-off date?
They go by postmark. In a close race, there is some mandatory wait period.
Also, “provisional” ballots, which are obtained outside the normal procedure of receiving your ballot by mail at home, must be verified and counted if the vote margin falls below a certain point.
Also, Referendum 88 is close to a mandatory recount.
No Conservative candidate or Conservative measure can survive a “recount” in King County (Seattle).
To give you some idea of the political environment in my Congressional District - we have a Top Two primary system - the Republican candidate came in third - he lost to someone who ran from the Socialist Party - in the general election, the Socialist got 30% of the vote against the incumbent Liberal Democrat!
