I doubt if his voters are going to be tuning into Kornacki's analysis. They will be watching FOX or OANN on election night for a definitive result (in favor of Trump).
Even if only 50 million ballots are counted by election night, Trump will try to claim victory if over 25 million of those votes are cast for him. I just hope conservative media will point out the total number of votes by state tallied on the night of November 3rd compared to the number of votes cast for the 2016 election. Trump will almost certainly say he won even if less than half the estimated total ballots expected for this years election are counted that Tuesday night.
Trump believed Obama lost the popular vote in 2012:
Most of those are still up at Twitter (link link link link link). The one following that screen cap is a doozy:

Obama won the popular vote by 4,982,291 votes (51.1% to 47.2%). Trump was posting unfounded conclusions prematurely on Election Night 2012 – his interest this year probably supersedes it of that night.
I just hope the media's desire for a horse race doesn't create a narrative for a contested election where there shouldn't be one. Most people will probably be patient and wait for the results to be tallied, but many conservatives don't allow facts to get in the way of their worldview.
