... be waiting until all countable ballots are in. Some of the smallest numbers are from counties that haven't made a report since 6/7 or 6/8. They might have decided to wait 'til after the 6/10 deadline to process them.

They need to organize it, have everything properly witnessed, etc. Wouldn't be efficient to do that for the 30 votes left from election day, than again for the 20 that came in the next day, and the next.... better to just wait for the deadline and then put together the "count team"... I'm guessing that a number of "little places" will have sent updated reports with 0 left today (which should show up in updated statewide reports tonight).
