First of all, she’s probably not going to win the actual number of votes cast.
 Hilary  may win the number of votes counted, but not the votes cast.
Did you vote absentee? Â Opps! Â
States don’t count their absentee ballots unless the number of outstanding absentee ballots is larger than the state margin of difference.
If there is a margin of 1,000 votes counted and there are 1,300 absentee ballots outstanding, then the state tabulates those.  If the number of outstanding absentee ballots wouldn’t influence the election results, then the absentee ballots aren’t counted.
Who votes by absentee ballot? Â Students overseas, the military, business people on trips, etc. Â The historical breakout for absentee ballots is about 67-33% Republican.
 Example how absentee ballots work:  In 2000, when Al Gore “won†the popular vote nationally by 500,000 votes and the liberal media screamed bloody murder, there were 2 million absentee ballots in California alone.  A 67-33 breakout of those yields a 1.33- to 0.667-million Republican vote advantage, so Bush would have gotten a 667,000-vote margin from California’s uncounted absentee ballots alone!  So much for Gore’s 500,000 popular vote “victory.† (That was the headline on the N.Y. Times, and it was the lead story on NBC Nightly News, right?  No? Â
