You live in a banana republic. Nothing more needs to be said.
I don’t know when the last fair election/vote count was held, but it’s been a very long time.
They didn’t ban release. They waited for all the mail-in ballots to arrive, particularly overseas and military. Friday was a holiday.
Since Republican voters are older than Democrat voters, and since older people are much more at risk for serious illness from the coronavirus, I'm not sure how much stock I'd put in this to predict things in November.
If the pandemic is still ongoing in November, it probably won't matter who wins.

This is a new one on me. In every election, there are absentee and mail in ballots which are counted after election day. But the fact that those ballots may not have arrived by election day does not prevent the release of the election returns from election day itself.
Absentee ballots are not likely to change election results—or so it was, 25 years ago.
Court challenges and lawsuits were the reason. “U.S. District Judge William Conley rejected a request by Democrats and liberal groups to postpone Wisconsin’s election, but ordered that voters have until Monday (today)— six days after the election — to file absentee ballots. And Conley prohibited clerks from starting counts until 4 p.m. today.”

Thank you for the info. So it was based on court challenges that this happened. I had not heard anyone in the media, or anyone here, note that it was highly unusual to not release election returns as votes were counted on election night.
You’re most welcome! I wasn’t sure so I looked it up!
Be very quiet... the Democrats are mining a few thousand more votes.
