As President Donald Trump and others express concerns about ballots materializing in Florida after the Nov. 6 election, some advocates are reminding people that many of these ballots are likely coming from military voters and U.S. citizens living overseas.
In Florida in particular, if a ballot coming from overseas from a registered voter is postmarked by Election Day, Nov. 6, it will be counted if it arrives by Nov. 16. Over the years, many states have enacted legislation that extended deadlines for these voters to make sure the ballots get there to be counted.
“As far as I’m concerned, this [Florida] election isn’t over until Nov. 16. That’s legal, and any ballot from a military voter or citizen overseas that’s postmarked by the 6th and arrives by the 16th has a right to be counted and should be included in the certified ballot count,”said Susan Dzieduszycka-Suinat, president and CEO of U.S. Vote Foundation and Overseas Vote.

I think there is another post on this same subject/article. Trump wasn't speaking to the absentee ballots. He was referring to the boxes found in a school, which turned out to be a mistake (the boxes were for election supplies, left behind by election official). The teacher in question contacted a State Representative friend and the media instead of discreetly going to the election officials. The GOP and the President were right to be upset by this. One could say they're milking it but I prefer them getting ahead of the BS then sitting by and watching the actual shenanigans occur.

The absentee ballots only matter if enough that were requested are still outstanding and could have an impact on the outcome. If 25,000 absentee ballots were requested and all but 2000 had come back and the gap in the outcome is 20,000 votes, there is no need to wait. They will not affect the outcome.

MSG Stan Hutchison - Stan, you might be surprised to find out that many states do not count all of the votes. Especially absentee and provisional ballots. If they will not make an impact to the outcome some of those remain uncounted.
I know it is the mantra of the left to now say "every vote should be counted". What they should say is "every legal vote should be counted". This means things like the voter is registered, their ballot is completed and submitted correctly and on time and that is it legible etc.

Cpl Jeff N. - I understand. However, since there is no evidence of any measurable voter fraud, I prefer to go on the assumption that all votes cast are legal, therefore should be counted.

MSG Stan Hutchison - You should not assume all ballots cast are legal. Provisional ballots have many issues normally. They all must be validated so many are rejected. The voter may not be registered, may have been at the wrong precinct, could be an illegal alien etc.
Absentee ballots may be late, unsigned etc. There does not need to be fraud involved for a vote not to be legitimate/legal. That may be the case but it does not need to be to remain uncounted.

Cpl Jeff N. - I believe most provisional ballots can be resolved. I firmly believe we should make it easier to vote, not harder.

I do think they had a strong influence in what some people believed, through fake web sites designed to denigrate Hillary and promote Trump. That is my opinion. I will await Mr. Mueller's final report.
