We filled out absentee ballots and dropped them off in person on Tuesday. They went into an official ballot suitcase and I asked the volunteer lady what happens to them next. She said they get taken to the counting location and tabulated, but I thought she sounded so suspicious at the time. She seemed nervous that I asked any question at all.

Anyway, I used the next door app to ask my neighbors if anybody has had their ballot counted and one of my city council members responded by saying we still had 98k votes left to count (this was yesterday) and that they'd be done around Thursday night.
