Not all absentee ballot rejections result in a voter's disenfranchisement. In some cases, an absentee ballot could be "rejected" because someone changed their mind and cast their ballot in person, among other reasons. And this year, many voters were given a chance to fix mistakes before the polls closed.

A note of caution: This data reflects the numbers as entered by local election officials, and data entry errors could be to blame for potential irregularities. The state says it's still examining why, for example, records indicate that several voters didn't cast a ballot but also had their absentee ballots rejected because they already voted absentee or in-person. It's also unclear why one deceased voter is listed as casting a ballot. The Secretary of State's office says that is "most likely a data entry error."
