I know some states can't count before election day whereas Nevada can but that's still a joke.
It is not though that Florida was won so significantly that nobody really cares about a few thousand partially completed postal ballots, provisional ballots and absentee ballots.

They will still have officials wading through these things before finalising their results in a few weeks time. However nobody is rushing them, and nobody has a great interest in standing over them while they check these things as it won't affect the outcome.

I do agree though that the process needs to be ironed out and made consistent across the 50 states and DC.
