This is the Republican/MAGA strategy for the midterm elections. Even if they make baseless claims of voter fraud, they think it will be easier to mess with election results so they can challenge the counting of results not in their favor. Major delays in seating elected candidates and the passing of new ballot measures may be the goal. They will always seek to cast doubt on the fairness of elections when they lose. This has the added result of lowering voter turnout as voters lose faith in the process.
