Why Is Virginia not counting absentee military votes?

I don't understand why Virginia is not counting the absentee ballots of the soldiers over seas? I don't understand how they can do this. They want to vote also. They have a right to vote and have their votes counted just as we all do. The men and women over seas that are in the middle of all of this more than we are sees first hand what is going on over there and they are not being allowed to have their vote counted?!?!. They are getting killed, wounded, maimed, post traumatic stress syndrome and the list goes on. They are good enough to be sent over there to experience all of these things but they are not good enough to vote and have their vote counted?? what the hell is that!! Way to go Virginia thank you for showing your up most respect and support for our American Soldiers. So um when a natural disaster happens in Virginia Should the National Guard be sent in to help your state out? after all they are some of the ones that are over seas that are trying to vote this coming election day but you are not allowing them to be counted. so should they be allowed to come and bail your ass out of a crack when a disaster hits? You would expect them to just like they are expecting to vote and have it counted!!

That's just crazy! They have to count them, don't they?? Or is there some loop hole where they only have to count them if the race is thisclose??
Every vote is supposed to count!

Here you go, this was on the news today.

have never seen anything like this in all my born days," she said. "I am just astounded." In Virginia, where a Democrat has not won the presidential race since 1964, several counties experienced paper jams and balky touch-screen devices. In Richmond, a precinct opening was delayed because the person who had the keys overslept. Hundreds of people swarming the branch library cheered when its doors finally opened.

"the person who had the keys overslept."
Bull, they don't want the democratic vote and people are showing up like crazy to vote. Just like they didn't want the soldiers to vote.
