Most of our lives didn't have millions of absentee ballots in States like Arizona. I believe this lack of large numbers of absentee ballots made it harder for them to steal.
How this should really work is all absentee ballots should be received the day before election and a physical count of the total received is available at the start of normal polling. That way by the time the cheaters know how many votes they need on polling day it's too late for them to make more absentee ballots appear to get those votes.
If we don't know how many absentee ballots were received they can continue to make them appear, up to the number they mailed out, anytime they need to find more votes to win which gives a reason to slow counting.
