Update VI: The AP now says the race is too close to call. “There are at least 6,000 and possibly as many as 10,000 absentee ballots that will not be included in the results for at least a week.”
Update VII: New York agreed to count overseas absentee ballots until April 13, so this race may not be settled for a while.

How is that possible? Don’t the absentee ballots have to have been postmarked by yesterday?

… could count on to switch ‘states rights’ positions on the SC.
I don’t think the GOP is as interested in obliterating democratic practice in this race as they are in the Minnesota race.
