Large numbers of mail-in/absentee ballots have been counted before.

...The 1.59 million absentee ballots (click here) received as of Tuesday morning significantly outstrips the roughly 484,000 absentee ballots received in the August 2016 primary and surpasses the record 1.27 million absentee ballots received in the November 2016 presidential election

Donald John Trump took the presidency in 2016. There are more mail-in/absentee ballots this election, however, it is not an astronomical difference. In 2020 there are 320,000 more ballots compared to 2016. All this is very easy to accommodate. There should be no problem in counting ballots in the presidential election.

The November 2016 presidential election set a record, too. All the ballots were counted and became a record popular vote then, too. Election results are forthcoming and in the Republican primary, the winner is already known and is Peter Meijer.

There were no problems in 2016 and there are no problems in 2020.

"By all accounts, today’s elections were a great success," Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said after the close of polls Tuesday. "All of these (voting) options — making sure they’re available and voters are aware of them — are key to our success in November and were key to our success today.”...
