Who all have early voted?

With early voting common throughout the country, why then are blue states claiming they need several days to "count" the votes and that precincts need to be open past 7 pm? The deadline for mail ins is 7PM Nov. 8. The obvious answer is so they can cheat and do late night vote dumps, but in reality, how are they going to defend that in court? We all know that is where this is going.

I think the solution is to require mail in ballots be in and tabulated on Friday before the election. Waiting until the night of and then dumping a mass quantity to overwhelm the workers is their most recent tactic. That's got to stop in order to have a fair election.
