That looks like an interesting case.

I suppose the argument for tossing some absentee ballots would have to rest on skewing of the results.

For example, if you had a county they normally voted 50-50 Democratic and Republican, and both parties sent out 10,000 ballot applications lacking voter ids, and then ONLY the Republicans were allowed to fix the applications while the Democrats were told to fly a kite. As a result the absentee ballots came in 4 to 1 Republican. In such a case (purely hypothetical) you could argue that the elections officials' misconduct had subverted the will of the people, and the absentee ballots should be thrown out.
