I have been told that Shep is from New York. Here is the requirement for canvasing absentee votes in New York. (b) Paper ballots and emergency ballots cast during voting machine breakdowns which have been voted shall then be canvassed and tallied, the vote thereon for each candidate and ballot proposal, announced and added to the vote as recorded on the return of canvass. (c) Absentee and military, special federal, and special presidential ballots shall then be canvassed and tallied, the vote thereon for each candidate announced and added to the vote as recorded on the statement of canvass and a final proclamation made as to the total vote received by each candidate and ballot proposal. Here is the link to the law. elections.state.ny.us I suspect that it may very well be OK not to count the absentee votes unless the difference is less than the total number of absentee votes, for some State and local elections. But Federal law says the absentee votes must be counted.
