Because Arizona, California and other western states have made it EASIER to vote by allowing vote by mail ballots to be counted if they are posted marked by election day and received within a certain time limit.

Unlike Florida, which every election cycle is making it harder and harder for people to vote.

At least Florida does allow each county to count their absentee and early votes BEFORE the polls close on election day, which greatly speeds up the actual vote reporting on election night.
