Secondly - Do we normally count ballots received after an election event, say days after?
America has had ample time to cast it's vote especially by mail - there is potential to cheat after 8PM on Election night, by keep counting ballots after the cut off time, there has to be "closure" to the election, otherwise the result cannot be determined for weeks if ballots keep on coming in, days after the election has ended.

If they have to keep them separate, then they are not being counted towards the official tally.

A three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Thursday that Minnesota's absentee ballots that come in after Election Day should be separated from the rest of the ballots, in case a future order makes those votes invalid.
The ruling doesn't block Minnesota's seven-day extension for counting absentee ballots — but it does order a lower court to issue a ruling that would keep the late arriving ballots separate so they can be “removed from vote totals in the event a final order is entered” that finds them unlawful.
