My vote has not been counted

Dropped my mail-in ballot 10/19, first day of early voting.

It is marked received but hasn’t been counted. I emailed supervisor of elections and no response. Should I go down there?

repeatedly before risking Coronavirus exposure.

They may be more responsive that way. Some entities are terrible at email.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I voted in Pa. and the county election office has my ballot but I don't think they are allowed to count it?

14. I'm in Palm Beach county -- Track your ballot with this link.

The ballot tracker screen shows that mine is received as valid, and therefore will be counted.

According to an email I received from the Supervisor of Elections ...

If the word "RECEIVED" is shown in blue, your ballot will be counted. If it shown in red, there is a problem.

Could they have done this better? Absolutely.

Is it working? Seems to be.

I checked today and it now shows up as counted. The SOE received my ballot on October 1 and it was listed as received for the first three+ weeks. The canvassing board started meeting on Monday.
