If that is the case, counting and results should not be completed until those 3 days are up. I am fine with them doing that, as long they make it fair.

It will not be fair if they release "X" candidate has a 10,000 vote lead after election day and then 10,001 ballots come in for candidate "Y"

NO COUNTING UNTIL THE CLOCK IS UP!!!
I mean obviously you can't put out results until the polling is officially closed but you know that would leak out for sure if Biden were trailing and the exact number of votes they need to get out

Thus why I said "no counting"

You basically extend the voting the 3 days and then count.

Here is a link to how the votes are counted though
