Hey Larry, some of these humor sites you bring up are MORONIC. The
nit-wit who wrote that article says:

"From American Thinker:"

"First of all, she¢s probably not going to win the actual number of
votes cast. She may win the number of votes counted, but not the votes
cast."

"States don¢t count their absentee ballots unless the number of
outstanding absentee ballots is larger than the state margin of
difference. If there is a margin of 1,000 votes counted and there are
1,300 absentee ballots outstanding, then the state tabulates those. If
the number of outstanding absentee ballots wouldn¢t influence the
election results, then the absentee ballots aren¢t counted."

Does that actually make any sense at all? Votes are still being
counted. Couldn't the doofus author take a second to wonder just WHAT
votes are still being counted?

Here's what vote.org has to say:

Yes, all votes are counted, whether they're cast in-person or by absentee ballot.

It is a common misconception that absentee ballots are only counted
during very tight races. This misconception stems from two things:
one, absentee ballots are often counted for days after the election
since many are coming from abroad; two, absentee ballots are often a
small percentage of all voted ballots. Many elections have a clear
winner, so the absentee ballots that are still being counted after
election night don't affect the results as predicted right after the
polls close. As absentee voting becomes more popular, however, an
increasing number of elections are decided by absentee ballots.
