In an executive order last spring, Trump asserted that, if a mail-in ballot arrives after Election Day, states cannot legally count it. Currently, many states — including Nevada and Virginia — count ballots that arrive shortly after Election Day, if they were postmarked on time.

In that same executive order, Trump called on the Election Assistance Commission to decertify every voting machine in the United States — and then recertify only those that met an exacting set of requirements. As The Atlantic’s David Graham notes, it’s not even clear that the government could procure enough voting machines to meet these new standards in time for November’s midterms.

Regardless, courts blocked both of these measures. Yet each established a rationale for the administration to reject any future election results that it did not like: This November, several states will count mail ballots in a manner that the White House has formally declared illegal, while virtually every precinct in the country will use voting machines that it has deemed untrustworthy.

I’ve been trying to keep track of their various attempts to steal the Midterms, and figured the most likely way was to instigate violence, then invoke Martial Law, and suspend elections until peace is restored, which will never happen, since he controls the peace.

I hadn’t even considered this strategy, but it makes sense. We saw on Jan 6 that he had a Plan B, with the seditious False Electors Plot, so it makes sense that he’d have a Plan B for the Midterms, and probably a Plan C and D, too.
