In WA they are counted as they come in so a rough total can be released when polls close.

In PA they wait until the polls close to start counting. Which in 2020 led to claims of fraud when videos of suitcases being wheeled in surfaced when they were actually approved containers of mailed in ballots.

There are many ways rethugs are trying game the process. Mail in goes along ways towards keeping the count honest.
