Me too, and it's driving me crazy because none of the news stories mention anything about those ballots. My husband also heard that they were going to be counted today.
The absentees have been counted, according to the State Board of Elections website. They are grouped by county/city into absentee "precincts," one per Congressional district per county/city (so if a county is split in two Congressional districts, there's two absentee "precincts" and two "conditional vote precincts" for provisional ballots). They're typically the last grouping of votes to come in for a given county or city. If you want to check out how it works, go here:

...hit the "live results" link, and click around a bit. You can drill down to every county/city in the state and get a complete list of precincts and how they voted, including absentees.
Unless there is some epic mistake somewhere, Allen is not going to find 7,400 votes out there. He's got every right to hang on until the canvass is done (by next Tuesday), but at this point I don't see him asking for a recount.
