It really is not a good way to do it. I get the timezones, size of the country and different states different methods complicate it but how the hell can California have still only counted 60% of ballots?!

America is a great democracy in many respects but in this practical part of it they are dire
You can read why it takes so long here.

If a signature is missing or does not match the signature on file, state law requires county elections officials to reach out to voters to verify their signature to ensure that their ballot can be counted. Voters can verify their signature up to two days before the county certifies their results.

I'm definitely not a fan of how the US runs its elections - but it seems to me that it leaves a massive paper trail so you can comfortably be sure that Biden didn't buy votes in 2020.

It is interesting how there were dozens of court cases that were thrown out without evidence, and dozens more that didn't make it to court - and the limp allegations are still here years later.
