A better analogy would be that a corrupt referee owned by criminal interests and who bet on the outcome of the game was trying to end the game early by speeding up the clock so that the field goal unit couldn’t get on the field to try the kick, and then his actions were challenged, and, on further review by a higher authority, the missing time was restored and the game allowed to proceed according to the rules of the game that both sides must abide by,

Then he got clobbered in his run for president, so he ignored his own "intent standard" and ran for the senate again.

That is a strategy to steal an election.
