There will be an uptick of Democrat votes in strongholds where it doesn’t make a difference in local elections and will affect the outcome of the so-called “Popular vote”.

California ran the board this time counting absentee ballots for what seemed far longer than in previous competitions. Usually if the number of outstanding ballots does not affect the outcome of a race, they aren’t tallied. Laws in some areas have changed in the past 20 years but others still hold to that.

Not so. This is a myth that seems never to die on this site.
