I think they may have started today in some places and tomorrow in others.

Can I just say that election-day vanities are some of my favorite things?

Generally up to a week after election day. Certified totals don't HAVE to include the absentee ballots if there are not enough outstanding ballots to turn the election.
Also expect the post office to "delay" delivery of absentee ballots until after the deadline. It has happened before (ballot have to be postmarked before election day but only have a short period in which they may arrive and be counted).

Unlike previous elections, absentee ballots were requested and submitted in HUGH numbers this election in almost every state.

You are correct to say that absentee ballots have been expanded in many states (some states waved the restriction against being "unable" to get to the polls in early and election day voting).

In my county all absentee ballots which were in the elections office by today were counted today.
The others that were turned into polling places will be counted later.

somebody answered that "nobody" counts them... that may bit a bit facetious but... truer than you think. The Republican's got all excited over large absentee numbers when it's very easy not to count or make them disappear.

Just checked the Washington State numbers.
The majority of them are already rolled in, but thousands are still out since they do not have to be mailed today.
But looking at the numbers for most candidates here, they won't change the dynamics enough to change things.
With one MAJOR exception and that is Reichert in the house. That one is a serious nailbiter. (It would be a GOP loss if he loses.)

In Texas, the early votes are counted first and released at 7:00pm on election night.

In Maryland they start counting the absentees on Thursday.

Hopefully, the absentees will put our guys in Md. over the top.
