If early/absentee/mail vote counts are leaked, that will fuck with turnout on election day. Better to count everything on election day. Make it a clearly stated rule that mail-in ballots have to arrive by election day and will be shredded if they don't. Tell people to send them early.

There's no reason they can't count everything on election night and give us our result by the morning, no matter how many mail ballots there are.
