The US is ranked as a 'Flawed Democracy', what needs to change?

I don't understand why there's so much delay with mail-in ballots. Many countries use them, and in none of them do they take anywhere near as long to count as they do in the US. What's so special with US mail-in ballots that it takes so long to count them?

It's because it's being marketed as a replacement for in-person voting rather than a limited option for special exceptions. Plus, mass amounts of mail-in ballots have been known to be susceptible to... "tampering" by various political groups... And its not like its impossible to fix either. If both Florida and Georiga can count their votes in a matter of hours, what's Arizona or Nevada's excuse?

That's true for for many other countries, too, so it can't be just that.

For context, in the last election here in Luxembourg over one third of the ballots were mailed in and yet the evening of the day the elections were being hold almost all ballots had been counted already.

Also, how are the mail-in ballots more easy to tamper with in the US?
