    It’s because it’s a money making machine for the media for the lead up. Counting the votes is for when it’s close and/or corrupt states.

        Easy fix, already used in other countries: start mailing sooner so they arrive before the election day.

          The issue when it’s that close you still have to wait for everything to come in. We mail out 1-3 months in advance depending on state, but in some states you just have to have it post marked on election day
