You bet, count them all. Just call it a "recanvass" then you can break state law with impunity and keep counting previously uncounted ballots until you get the result you want. I use military absentee's because 1} Unlike Phillips, they're not here to defend themselves and don't know they haven't been counted 2} Democratic election officials (remember Florida?) know all too well that the military will break Republican/Rossi.

Get real. Recanvassing is defined explicitly in state law (RCW 29A.60.210) and is allowed if a county wants to do it, and the votes must be valid in all other ways (arrived by Election Day, signature matched, etc.).

Counting votes that arrived after Election Day is explicitly forbidden by state law, no matter what. So WHO is proposing to "break state law" here, the recanvassers or those who want to count military ballots that arrived after the legal deadline? Hint: it's you.
