NPR has removed the totals for Virginia because the state sent revised numbers after the publication of this story acknowledging that the numbers it provided earlier were incorrect.
"We discovered an error in the way the data was reported initially and, once discovered, it was corrected." Elections Commissioner Christopher Piper told NPR.
The state now says that only 469 absentee ballots (or 0.74% of the total) were rejected in the March primary. However, that number includes all rejected ballots, not only those that arrived too late to be counted.
NPR has also removed totals from Rhode Island because the state has since partially updated their primary numbers and has not provided NPR with a new number of rejected ballots specifically due to lateness.
