Interesting, do you know which states?


Hmmm, my information might be out-of-date. Perhaps this isn't done any more.
I don't know where this information is consolidated for all states, so people will have to look it up somewhere at <yourstate>.gov.

I looked up California (where you appear to reside) and they claim they do count all absentee votes regardless of outcome or closeness of the race.
That is, they are counted if they are deemed valid.
