Biden's absolute and percentage win of the popular vote will actually be bigger than the official numbers, because some mail-in ballots are rejected for things like forgetting to sign, or putting the wrong date, or got there too late to be counted, and Democrats were more likely to vote by mail.

Thousands of ballots continued to stream into U.S. Postal Service facilities Monday, according to newly filed court documents, too late in many states to be counted, even if postmarked by Election Day.
According to the new data, compiled as part of a lawsuit to monitor mail voting, ballots arriving Monday included hundreds meant for closely fought contests in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Arizona, where President-elect Joe Biden has held small but significant leads. Those ballots include: 121 in Atlanta, 293 in Philadelphia, 109 in Central Pennsylvania, 171 in Central Arizona and 83 in Detroit.
Though the number of ballots is too small to affect the outcome of the election in any of these states they could — along with hundreds of others that arrived in these states in the days since the election — affect the margins of victory for Biden

The Postal Service cautioned, in a disclaimer to the court, that the numbers may actually be an undercount, since not all mailed ballots are marked with codes that identify them.
