Allegheny County, PA still has 35,413 uncounted mail-in ballots, but elections staff is taking today off for "administrative work" and will not resume count until Friday. "I can't get an answer as to why,'' says @bethanyhallam, a member of county elections board.

I would demand a complete audit on those counts. Remember Ohio 2004 and how some red counties and districts reported numbers for Bush higher than the number of registered voters.
