Between what Trump has said, and what he has done, Trump has made it clear he plans on stealing the election, never more so than today.

"The worst case, however, is not that Trump rejects the election outcome. The worst case is that he uses his power to prevent a decisive outcome against him. If Trump sheds all restraint, and if his Republican allies play the parts he assigns them, he could obstruct the emergence of a legally unambiguous victory for Biden in the Electoral College and then in Congress. He could prevent the formation of consensus about whether there is any outcome at all. He could seize on that uncertainty to hold on to power.
Trump’s state and national legal teams are already laying the groundwork for postelection maneuvers that would circumvent the results of the vote count in battleground states.
“We are not prepared for this at all,” Julian Zelizer, a Princeton professor of history and public affairs, told me. “We talk about it, some worry about it, and we imagine what it would be. But few people have actual answers to what happens if the machinery of democracy is used to prevent a legitimate resolution to the election.”
Let us not hedge about one thing. Donald Trump may win or lose, but he will never concede. Not under any circumstance. Not during the Interregnum and not afterward. If compelled in the end to vacate his office, Trump will insist from exile, as long as he draws breath, that the contest was rigged."
There is a long list of other dirty tricks he's been pulling. Some of have headlines, like sabotaging the postal service. But others have not, he has 50,000 volunteers in 15 states that will be harassing minority voters. That's a Jim Crow tactic.
That's what all this is for, the lawyers, the White Supremacist 'volunteers", the claim that voting my mail is rigged. If all the votes are counted, Biden will win by a solid margin, he's going to use every dirty trick he can find to see that never happens.
