What happened to all the mail in votes that were supposed to take days to count?!!!!

Have all the states that are being called counted all the mail in and dropped off votes?
Why did we hear that or will take days to count?
Or are they all just being ignored and we were all played as suckers?

We won’t know Pennsylvania before Friday, for instance. Michigan will take days. So it’s far from over.

Will NOT take days. Tomorrow which is today Eastern Standard Time, in the early morning hours. It the margin stands now with the vote totals, folks might just want to keep sleeping and not add tension to their morning.

PA has 2.2 million uncounted mailed ballots which probably won't be completely counted for a couple of days.

but other states, including the big ones that we're waiting on (Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania) couldn't start counting them until today. That's why PA is expected to not have a result until much later this week.

Can COUNT Absentees start at 7am ET on the day of the Election. Michigan will be called in the morning or sometime late tonight. And folks better hope that spread tightens up BIG TIME -- as for now -- the spread is VERY UNSETTLING to this Michigander.

There's a bunch of votes from counties around Atlanta that are still counting. That's why Georgia hasn't been called yet either.
