Q: Are vote-by-mail and provisional ballots always counted even in "landslide" elections?
A: Yes, every valid ballot returned to county elections officials by 8:00 p.m. on election day is counted in every election, regardless of the ballot type or the margin in any particular contest.

There are checks done to confirm that the person is registered to vote in that county, and that they did not already vote in that election.
If Greg Palast and others want to push this misinformation, let's see how well that works out for them.
If a person has registered as NPP, and they didn't receive a Democratic ballot, they can exchange that ballot for a Democratic ballot at the polling place on election day. If for some reason that polling place has run out of Democratic ballots, and those voters decide to listen to Greg Palast, and refuse to accept a provisional ballot, whose fault would that be?
