Maybe it means absentee ballots dropped into a drop box at the board of elections or at a poll site, rather than mailed.
Just a guess, but probably averaging the number of votes from all the others? If you have 20 voting machines, they’re each going to get roughly the same number of voters. If 19 of them have between 200 and 225 votes tallied and one you’re not sure of, chances are you’re missing 200-225 votes from that machine.
Fort Sumter awaits.
