80. It doesn't make any sense
If these are absentee ballots, why would they push the total number of votes over the number of registered voters?

Forget all the double-speak... disbursement of absentee votes, blah, blah, blah...

You have to be a registered voter to even get an absentee ballot. If you vote by absentee ballot, you can't vote at the precinct on election day because you already voted by absentee ballot. Therefore, the adding of absentee ballots or where they added them, etc. doesn't mean squat. The fact remains that there are still all these EXTRA votes... MORE votes then there are REGISTERED voters.

To claim that the extra votes are absentee votes would be admission that they didn't do a blessed thing to ensure that absentee voters didn't ALSO vote at the poll on election day, i.e., they'd be admitting that they let all these people vote twice.
