He may not win but he could very well force Democrats to expend time and money in a state they normally treat as a slam dunk in presidential elections.
In an honest system, this would be a solid strategy. Their resources are limited, so make them expend said resources in places that they normally wouldn’t need to. In this system, it only matters if it eats into their ability to cheat again. It might. This time, they might need to cheat in more places. I don’t think that they can be much more obvious about it, but maybe so.
