We’ve noted some alarming scenarios that take place long after election day by which the criminal-in-chief might try to steal the election. My worry is that he will move much sooner: with fake allegations of fraud and “foreign meddling” (the only meddling is domestic, of course, and emanting from the White House), Trump will send federal agents to seize voting machines in Democratic cities in states that matter, especially for the Senate: e.g., Detroit, Atlanta, Houston, Cleveland. Seizing the machines (or ballots) and holding them long enough based on a fake investigation could result in those votes never being counted, or being so spoiled by allegations that it makes possible some of the other “steal the election” scenarios.

I hope I’m wrong, but I have no doubt that Trump will try this or something similar.
