That’s wacky. I believe in many states absentee ballots are not even counted unless there are enough of them to alter a close outcome. They are eventually counted and added into the final totals, but when one candidate has a margin greater than the number of absentee ballots, they obviously have no impact.
This is just harassment.
That is not true. Someone keeps repeating that. All the votes are counted eventually, regardless of whether or not they are “needed.”
Might be different in WI, but in PA absentee ballots are counted on the same day as all other ballots whether they affect the outcome or not (except oversees military, which are allowed special extensions. Those are still counted, however.)
“After the election, they have workers who sit with barcode scanners and scan in the barcodes of everybody who voted. That process can take up to 45 days. “
