5. All votes should be counted

I've never understood why some people say absentee ballots are not counted if the margin of the election is more than could be made up by absentees. All ballots are equal and all should be counted in order to accurately reflect the sense of the electorate at that moment. In Wisconsin all absentee ballots are counted, either during slow times during the day or after closing, and in Milwaukee at a separate facility that counts all absentee ballots from the city.
