If you reject my claim that US has many-times more remote places than the UK, that need additional logistical consideration, a further reason is that the US election has no particular hurry. If your count in the UK doesn't finish for a week, the parliamentary session opens, and you don't have local representation in parliament. There's an immediate procedural consequence that disadvantages the local area and may result in concentrated unrest. If your count in the US doesn't finish, the relevant [Congressional] term doesn't start until January 3rd, 2021. As such, there's no immediately comparable procedural consequence. The Electoral College doesn't cast its votes until December 14th. The Supreme Court won't get involved, to hurry you up, until December 8th. Correctly postmarked ballots will (in some states) still be counted if they arrive late, up to November 23rd. Today is still November 15th. In theory, not all the votes have even arrived to be counted yet.
