Thank you but you have to
Everyone EverywhereThank you but you have to really zoom in (at least on mobile) in order to read the ballots plus the images run in a slideshow so I can only look at a ballot for a few seconds before the image changes.
Are the early votes counted
Voter EdgartownAre the early votes counted along with Tuesday’s votes? I was disappointed to learn that absentee ballots in the presidential election are only counted later, after the preliminary results are reported. Please clarify, we all want our votes to count, thank you!

When Absentee Ballots are Counted
Except for ballots which are rejected as defective, all absentee ballots are cast and counted by the poll workers on Election Day. Absentee ballots are included in the final tallies, and are counted whether or not an election contains a close race.
For the six towns on Martha's Vineyard, Early ballots are processed the same way.
