Mail can take an average of three weeks to get back here to the states.

In every state that I know of the ballot will still be counted as long as it is postmarked prior to the polls closing on election day even if received at the election commission several weeks later.

As of the 2004 election, some FPOs/APOs still weren't postmarking all mail. Haven't heard if they changed it yet.

IIRC, the military postal system postmarks don't have a date stamp, that being the issue in the Florida vote in 2000.

Just looked at the requirement for my previous state, Nebraska. They don't allow the ballot to be faxed (or email to fax) and require the ballot to arrive by the close of the polls on election day. Nothing in their rules about the postmark being sufficient. So that's two states where one could receive the ballot, either by mail or fax, too late to get it back in time to be counted. I suspect there are more.
