Absentee ballots still use the old punch card system, how long does it take for a machine to count punch cards ? Answer, a few seconds at most per thousand.

Well, ya see - on "regular" elections, they can count ALL of them overnight .....

And LA County, San Diego County, and many internal counties have ALL their ballots on punch cards.

I wasn't aware of what they used..... wasn't sure if it was mark and X, fill in the circle, or what. If it's punch card then they should be able to count them relatively fast.

Actually, the most time intensive thing is verifying the signatures on the ballots vs the voter registration and absentee ballot request. That is what will take the most time.
