@HoneyBadgerEnergy Its Rules Set by each state as to when they can start to count ballots. Some start early, some on election day morning & some only after the polls close

If that is something you want for your state, lobby to get it changed.

some states believe early counting will give bias to one side or the other. The reports of vote totals will get out, & if one candidate is getting crushed or another is far in the lead they could use that to their advantage.
