There are no standards across states for absentee ballots, and some states admit they don't count them on time, if the strength of victory in the state already exceeds the total # of absentee ballots. And given that absentee ballots generally favor the Rs over the Ds by a 2-1 margin...

"a small popular vote win is not an interesting argument." LOL
