The Supreme Court on Monday rejected President Donald Trump’s controversial plan to change how mail ballots are sent to voters across the country, rebuffing a proposal that election officials warned would have had catastrophic consequences if allowed to take effect for this year’s midterms.
No matter how SCOTUS ruled, the plan was to claim any results that don’t benefit Trump are rigged.
The thing is, mail in ballots have historically helped Republicans. Lots of the mail-in voters are rural voters or older people who can’t make it to the polls, both of which lean heavily Republican.
But that was also part of the goal. They wanted to point out that so and so county was missing 40,000 votes and historically voted Republican, so the election must have been rigged, so they wouldn’t accept the results.
But now their story is gonna be that they were prevented from protecting Americans from the fraud, and that the election was rigged.

Either way they plan on contesting the election.
