He is going to either:

a) claim he "is hearing so many terrible things" and declare the results null and get a lawsuit headed to his rubber stamp SCOTUS; or
b) succeed again at rigging just enough precincts and suppress just enough votes in MI, WI, PA and FL to secure an electoral college "win" against a popular vote loss of maybe 5,000,000+ votes this time

There is no option for c) he will lose and concede on election night 2020...zero chance.

All he'll need is ONE example of fraud to throw the whole election out. I worry that Trump and his Republican cronies will go as far as to frame Democrats and hold that up as an example. Real House of Cards shit.

There are 5 lawsuits in Texas just over who gets to request a VBM application! The AG says fear of COVID19 is not enough to qualify as a disability. HOWEVER in no way did the last ruling define disability and the current ballot application does not require a voter's disability to be identified. Therefore, one can request the application, return it and then received ballots for every election in that calendar year. We DO have to ask for a new application every year if we want to VBM.
