“Provisional” is just that - they aren’t verified and counted unless they are needed.
Usually, they won’t be. But if the margin is less than the number of provisionals, they’ll all have to be verified as valid and then counted.
Of course, the ‘rats could try to overwhelm the system by refusing to show ID and making all their votes provisional, delaying and messing up the works.
What’s to stop a Democrat operative from grabbing that pile, throwing out the Republican ballots, and adding everything else into the main pile of ballots to be counted?
These are not “Provisional”.. they can ask a voter for ID but they must give them a regular ballot even if they decline to provide ID.
