24. By declaring himself the winner, he hopes to suppress the vote in the west

- people might say "Why bother?", if he's already won.

Not saying they will. Saying they could.

Also, once he declares, he'll frame any further vote counting as unnecessary and cheating. An attempt to steal the election. Projection, of course.

That's when his lawyers will step in and try and stop the count all over. Attacking mail-in ballots of all types (absentee and otherwise).

They claim irregularities at polling places that harm them. They'll claim polling places are staying open illegally.

They will continue to harass voters from now until November 3rd to help suppress the vote and pretend there was trouble at polling places, neglecting the fact that they are the ones causing any problems.

This isn't doom and gloom. This is recognizing the fact that Trump cheats at everything and the fact that Republicans don't have a problem stealing an election.

I think Biden will win - but that doesn't mean Trump won't try to steal it anyway.
