Can Trump Easily Win if Republican Governors...
...just outlaw vote by mail voting, then order a curfew and stay at home order in racially diverse neighborhoods?
For example in Texas, since VBM is so heavily restricted, the Governor could just order a curfew and lockdown on election day in Houston and Austin, which should enable Trump to easily win Texas regardless of how purple it might be. Heck, Trump would probably be willing to send federal troops to Texas to assist in such a lockdown.
Likewise, in Florida, if the Governor were to order a curfew and stay at home order in Miami while simultaneously restricting VBM. All Trump needs a few complicit Republican governors to play along.

TALLAHASSEE — Republicans are seeking to join a high-stakes voting rights battle in Florida, claiming that Democrat-aligned groups are using the coronavirus outbreak as an excuse to strike down voting laws.
The Republican National Committee, the Republican Party of Florida and the National Republican Congressional Committee on Thursday asked a federal judge for permission to intervene in a lawsuit brought against Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, and state and local election officials.
"Democrats never let a crisis go to waste, and they are using a pandemic to completely destroy the integrity of our elections,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a written statement. The case, she said, "exposes Florida to potential fraud."
A group of Florida voters, Democratic super PAC Priorities USA and other Democratic-leaning organizations filed the lawsuit in U.S. district court in Tallahassee in early May. The case seeks to throw out state ballot-return deadlines and laws limiting who is allowed to collect vote-by-mail ballots and return them to local election offices.
