Was there a move at one time to count but not include the Absentee Votes unless there was a very close election.? From the dark recesses of memory that was either a proposal or an actual happening because of the volume of Absentees. Because many of our Absentee Ballots are returned by our American Heroes serving in the US Military I think EVERY vote should be included whether tight or a landslide. Thank You to ALL Who Serve in whatever capacity. Without you we may not be voting at all. I look forward to being wrong here...sometimes it's good to be wrong. I am hopefully incorrect here….
