This is true. In statistics, once you have a large enough sample size (1 million votes), you should be able to generalize for the population with some degree of certainty, and obtain what the average for each data set will be.

Mail in votes may favor one candidate, but not to the extent that it would skew the data so strongly that you could no longer generalize for the population.
