There's a certain bit of irony in your critique including an incorrect and unsourced rumor that has been making its way around social media.
In case it isn't clear, yes, all ballots are counted in every election. Even absentee ballots. The idea that they're not counted is ludicrous.

- hga 10y agoWhile it may be an "unsourced rumor that has been making its way around social media.", it's also something I learned years ago, it's a simple and very obvious economy measure. And whatever that Official Federal Government FAQ might say to, for example, encourage people to vote absentee, it has no bearing on the facts on the ground. The rules of which are, for Presidental elections, the sole prerogative of each state's legislature.
- mikeyouse 10y agoThe fact that you learned it years ago doesn't change whether it's an unsourced rumor. Every single state certifies their ballot totals and every single state counts each vote. I challenge you to find a single state where their policy is to only count absentees in close races.
