They are behind in mail-in votes, but election day in-person votes haven’t been counted yet.

—

it’s 1130pm so why aren’t they counting election day votes yet?

[Political Junkie Too]

Because they don't start counting the mail-in votes until 7:00pm when the polls close. They have to finish those before moving onto the election-day votes.

They have to open the envelopes, check for dates and signatures, verify the signature, and then approve the ballot. That takes time.
