That tracks. Trump has effectively vilified mail-in and early voting to reduce Republican participation.
If he’s losing, his strategy is to undermine mail-in votes, attempt to characterize them as fraudulent, and get as many of them thrown out as possible. Even if he can’t get them tossed, he will claim that Democrats are using illegal immigrants and other ineligible voters to steal the election, stirring up his base for more extreme actions. He will point to the “impossible” Democratic bias in those votes as evidence of fraud. If those votes weren’t overwhelmingly Democratic, this strategy wouldn’t be as effective.
Along with other tactics, such as challenging certification and having armed militias patrol polling places, this is part of his campaign’s multi-pronged approach to undermine the election if he’s losing, and they haven’t exactly been hiding their plans.
