Our ballots were accepted. Feels good to know it's done.

I found the following. Not sure how accurate it is, but it gives an overview of when each state begins counting mail in ballots:

https://ballotpedia.org/When_states_can_begin_processing_and_counting_absentee/mail-in_ballots,_2020
In 13 states, statutes or 2020-specific rules allow for absentee/mail-in counting to begin before Election Day:
Arizona
Colorado
Delaware
Florida
Hawaii
Maryland
Montana
Nebraska
Nevada
New Jersey
North Carolina
Oregon
Vermont

In another six states, statutes either do not specify when ballot counting can begin or leave the decision to the discretion of local officials:
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Ohio
Oklahoma
Utah

The remaining states and the District of Columbia allow ballot counting to begin either during the day on Election Day or after polls close. See the table below for more detailed information.

That's the general overview. The table below it has specific info and references for each state, so check that for your state.
If your state does not count ballots until election day, strongly consider voting in person instead, or else if they reject your ballot you'll probably not have enough warning to cast a new ballot and get screwed.

At least Florida (very important swing state) has begun counting them already, along w/ a few other swing states.
