its because so many in person absentee ballots came in on Tuesday. Absentee ballots
apparently have to be looked at by the canvassing board for signature match before they
can go through the counting machines. There are also a lot of provisional ballots that also
have to go through the canvassing board review before they can be counted. Deadline to
turn in final counts to the SOS is Saturday.
