They don't need to go to an elections office. if he wins it won't really matter since they may have to just count them as provisional(meaning they'd only need to look to the if the election is close enough for the votes to change the outcome). The lawsuit is probably symbolic at this point since the margins are not going to be enough to make a recount necessary in VA. so, according to what I heard they(the servicepeople) got their mail-in ballots today…so, he wants the mail-ins to be accepted from those servicepeople.

In order to win such a lawsuit, the McCain campaign will have to show this is likely to occur.
