Well yes and no. Election boards are appointed by their individual states and unfortunately that often means they are subject to the effects of local political biases.

For example, in a state with strong Democrat leanings that often results in, shall we say, over enthusiasm in seeking out disqualifying flaws and stricter application of submission regulations for absentee ballots which normally favor republican candidates but little or no vetting of local voters who would favor the ruling Democrats.
