PROVIDENCE -- The state Board of Elections was pushing through absentee ballots late tonight, after most polls had finished turning in votes cast today.

About 20 people were hard at work at the noisy task, feeding high-speed counters, in a bid to get the absentees counted soon.

More than 14,000 absentee ballots had been returned, of the between 16,000 and17,000 requested.
