That was Trump’s idea all along, wasn’t it? Trash the integrity of mail-in votes where he knew he was going to get thrashed, get all his supporters to defer voting until Election Day, thus giving them the impression he won before they went to bed and claim fraud when his lead “mysteriously” disappeared, upon which they would naturally fall in line.

Working like a charm. It won’t get him re-elected, but it will keep him as the legitimate President in their eyes, which he will be able to leverage for all sorts of political and financial rewards over the next four years.
