What seems to happen in California is that they tally the election day votes. If the absentees will not make a difference, the clerks are allowed to annouce who the winner is and then take their sweet time counting the absentee ballots to get the "official" results.

There are some places that only count absentee ballots if they can make a difference. That's all. If you follow instructions, your vote will count.

Unless you vote Libertarian.

I've been doing absentee ballots for several years, and I make damn sure they are PERFECT. LOL!
