Very interesting. The 5th CD race was decided by 727 votes. The 2,000 votes statewide will probably not be enough to overturn the outcome, however.

I’m interested how overseas voters vote as well. Any write-ins for Brian Moore, I wonder? ;)

The “forgot” to count some ballots here in the next county over, as well: http://www.timesreporter.com/elections/x1693434242/Absentee-ballot-dispute-prompts-special-session

Does this effect any office other than president?

A refusal to count ballots is no different in its effect than a ballot access restriction that excludes voters and candidates from casting a ballot at all.

If ALL votes should be counted, then ALL voters should be able to vote for ANY candidate who offers him/herself for election.

Not counting votes and excluding candidates are both instances of election rigging.
