If it needs more people, hire more people.
Also, aren't the mail in ballots verified with a computer? Or is some dude actually sitting there are making checks on a ledger?

Florida started counting in October and used a lot of voting machines for in-person votes, of course they're going to be done sooner than places that started counting on election night.
And ballots in the US aren't like the ones in Canada. In Philadelphia for instance, each ballot has to be checked for votes for President, House seat, Auditor General, Attorney General, Treasurer, State Senator, State House Representative, Judiciary elections, and 4 different ballot measures.
