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

There's also been instances of tens of thousands of ballots somehow arriving all at once at 1 am when most people were asleep, as well as voting centers blocking the windows of the counting rooms for no explainable reason.

I can't find anything about this. I'm going to make some assumptions here, especially since you haven't provided any evidence for your claim.

But I'm assuming what actually happened is that people put mail in their mailbox during the day. Some delivery person started delivering mail and picking up mail later in the day, got back to the distribution center at midnight or something, and then dropped them off at the vote counting place at 1am. Nothing particularly weird about that. 

My understanding of the claim about thousands of ballots in the middle of the night actually has more to do with how the ballots were tallied more so than actual ballots arriving at night. Basically during the 2020 election there was some point where a number of votes were tallied in the middle of the night and went up. Quick Google indicates from AP News that this is due to how Wisconsin tallies votes where all the votes have to be figured out before any are put online for a given area. Milwaukee finished their vote counting at 3:00 a.m. and that's when they put up the results. If it's not that it's about a video seeming to show votes arriving in Detroit after the 8:00 p.m. deadline but this is again misunderstood. The 8:00 p.m. deadline is for people to cast their ballot, not for those ballots to be delivered or counted. This was again something I found through AP News.
