Are mail in ballots still coming in

In the United States, mail-in ballots, also known as absentee ballots, are still being counted and processed in many states. The timeline for counting mail-in ballots varies by state, but most states have until a certain date to count and report their results.

Here are some general guidelines:

  1. Federal law: The Help America Vote Act of 2002 requires states to count absentee ballots that are postmarked by Election Day and received within a certain timeframe, which is typically 7-10 days after the election.
  2. State-specific deadlines: Each state has its own deadline for counting mail-in ballots. Some states, like California, allow ballots to be counted up to 17 days after Election Day, while others, like Florida, have a deadline of 3 days after Election Day.
  3. Current status: As of my knowledge cutoff (November 10, 2022), many states are still counting and processing mail-in ballots. Some states, like Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada, have already completed their counting, while others, like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, are still in the process.

To get the most up-to-date information on mail-in ballot counting in your state, I recommend checking the following sources:

  1. Your state's election website or website of your local election office.
  2. The National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) website, which provides information on election laws and deadlines.
  3. News outlets and election reporting websites, such as BallotReady or Vote.org, which provide real-time updates on election results and counting processes.

Remember, the counting and reporting of mail-in ballots can take time, and it's essential to be patient and wait for the official results to be announced.
