Maybe future elections should be limited to in-person voting with limited exceptions. Like..... in Canada?
EDIT: I get that this was done because of Covid. Should these votes not have been counted in advance?

Pennsylvania and one of Wisconsin/Michigan tried to change the rules on counting, they wanted to do it like Florida, and count them earlier. They were denied by republicans.
It's almost as if they wanted to be able to cause confusion etc.
