Does your state actually count absentee ballots even if they CAN'T change the outcome of the election?
OK. We all 'know' the answer to the above is yes. My actual question is: Where in your states election law does it say they have to do so?
Note: I specifically asked for an official source. Anyone that does not provide a source will NOT be chosen as Best Answer. Anyone claiming no source is needed will be reported as not answering the question.
Max Hoopla: You broke the stated rules. I SPECIFICALLY asked for your SOURCE. 'Yes' is NOT an answer to the question I asked.
Teekno: You did not supply a source either. For the record, if you don't mention what state you are from, NOTHING you say is verifiable.
JW B actually answered according to my rules. So far, he has Best Answer.
James: Unless YOU site the code section of your state law, you have NOT provided the SOURCE the question specifically asks for. There is still only ONE candidate for best answer.

Delaware Election law does NOT specify "all votes must be counted" in the Voting procedure law

But the process described for counting absentee ballots states "For each ballot envelope" which seems to imply all will be counted but it again does not say all will be counterd.

Sorry if you can't tolerate people giving you answers that don't conform to your mandates but that's a personal problem at best.
I recall from CNN during the 2000 election that most states do not count absentee ballots unless they can change the outcome of an election as they could had in Florida.
Also, you are correct that it is illegal to count absentee ballots before Election Day for the same reason candidates cannot campaign within a certain distance from a polling place on Election Day and that journalists cannot conduct election polls on Election Day prior to someone voting nor within a certain distance of those polls as any of those could influence a fair election process.

Nobody cares about what "rules" you've given to your question. You're even more meaningless that those bullsh't rules. If you aren't capable of doing your own research the. You aren't capable of understanding ANYTHING that anyone else presents.

It's in several places in my state election law. An example is §26-14-104.1
It does guarantee all votes will be counted.

Yes. All votes have to be counted. In my state at least a large percentage of voters vote by mail anyway.

In Montana it is the law that all votes must be counted. If you wish to verify this please go to the state of Montana web site and do your own verification.
