(2,194 posts)How long it takes them to count them once the start is something I am not sure how to ascertain.
it is worthwhile to check to know what your own state is doing (see link below).

Mine does not count until election night. I am going to wait a while to see how all this 'news' plays out before I decide to stick to my plan of hand delivering my mail-in or risk voting in person. and here it is important I bring the mail ballot to surrender if i want to be allowed to vote in person.(I read that in some states, (e.g. OH) if you have the mail ballot, and you want to vote in person, they will only allow you a provisional ballot that will take many days to be counted.) I hope people do not mess up on details like this and undo their own ability to vote.
Be careful and thoughtful people, and know all the rules so you can vote victoriously! BLUE WAVE!!!!!
