What if Trump is projecting about election rigging to preemptively silence disenfranchised voters,

especially minorities, on election day?

The republicans will pull their dirty tricks as usual- purging voter rolls, outrageously long lines in democratic precincts, etc, and if democrats challenge the massive disenfranchisement then Trump and his minions will act as if democrats and the media (if they report on it) are attempting to rig things?

My guess is that there will be a large scale cyberattack on Election Day, sowing confusion and chaos.

It won't actually affect the vote or the result, but it will get people worked up.

Are you familiar with Josh Marshall's (TPM) theory he calls Trump's Razor? It's a variation of Occam's Razor: In evaluating the Trump Campaign and its strategies and actions, the stupidest possible scenario that can be reconciled with the available facts almost always turns out to be right.

Your scenario is too clever for The Donald's brain. After all, he's an idiot.
