Absentee Ballots

[dhbearguy]

So,

Forever I have thought that absentee ballots are not counted, unless a race is close and they need them to sway the decision.

I just read this on SF Gate.

"The absentee votes that arrive in Tuesday's mail or are turned in at the polls typically aren't counted until after the election. In a close contest like the one predicted in the governor's race, those uncounted ballots could delay the final result until Wednesday or later."

I for one want my vote to count on election day!

That's exactly why I gave up on absentee voting. I used to think of it as a great convenience. Then I realized it meant my vote wasn't counted.
