I read somewhere that provisional ballots and absentee ballots are not counted unless the race is real close.

If so, this is a good way for them to “generate” more votes for Clinton.

I haven’t hear of any chicanery involving the overseas military votes, but in the past the ballots weren’t sent to them in time for them to get them back by election day.

All valid ballots are eventually counted. Consider that there are other elected offices besides president.

The provisional ballots and absentee ballots are eventually counted, but if a state gets to the end of the initial vote count and the margin of victory for one candidate is far more than the total number of these ballots, the state will announce a winner in the election even though there are still votes to count.

Some absentee ballots can be counted days (maybe even a week or two) after Election Day. I think most states just require them to be postmarked on or before Election Day.

The focus her may be to find some faulty code.
