Is it true that absentee ballots aren't really counted?

Thea Brodkin (Voter Service Chair) gives expert video advice on: If I don't vote in an election, is my registration invalidated?; Will my ballot be invalidated if I don't vote for every office?; Will my vote be counted if I don't register with a party? and more...

Oh, that's not true at all. Absentee ballots are just like any other ballot, they are counted. Maybe they're not counted on election night because we have to do all the checking, if the ballot is signed, the envelope is signed and it's signed with the right signature and everything, but it eventually will get counted.
