Since the election of the president by law has a fixed date. All votes cast on time, but that arrive late or get lost don't count.

As a citizen, you can do everything right, vote and your vote will still not count.

Whats wrong with pencil and ballot dropped into clear acrylic box, simple and works 100%.

Run out of pencils, voter makes mark on both candidates (check on one, x on other), counter decides to drop a bunch of additional ballots in, your vote is visible to the outside so the person who paid you to vote a certain way can verify.

Voting is a hard problem.

This is why you have representatives from both parties next to the ballot box, and third party observers, to make sure this doesn't happen.
