@divegeester saidAlaska can't count any absentee ballots until November 10th by State law; counting should be done by November 18th at the latest.
Alaska
Arizona
Georgia
North Carolina
How long?
The DA has instructed the DOJ to investigate voter fraud; are these states holding out or is this length of time normal?
North Carolina counts absentee ballots if they arrive by November 12th (if they are postmarked by Election day); they'll probably be done this week.

They're still about 70,000 votes to count in Arizona; done by Friday I'd guess. https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/11/08/arizona-election-live-updates-2020-presidential-election/6194561002/
There's "few" ballots left to be counted in Georgia, https://www.ajc.com/politics/live-updates-bidens-lead-in-georgia-grows-with-weekend-vote-counts/CDZ2PLBVPVC5JMDBWFJE3UOHGU/
but it within the 0.5% margin of a recount if a candidate requests it which Trump surely will. They'll have to complete it rather quickly; the deadline for certifying elections in the State is two weeks after Election Day or November 17th this year. https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/2020/11/07/election-recount-rules-state-margins-biden-trump-georgia-arizona-florida-georgia-nevada-pennsylvania/6190424002/

@divegeester saidNo, it's not unusual; a lot of States are still counting votes - these just happen to be close. There's 1.2 million mail in votes to be counted in my State but it's a Biden blowout as expected.

@no1marauder saidThis investigation by the DOJ which I’ve seen announced this evening (here), what exactly will they do?

Presumably go through every single ballot paper in the target states.
