“...I have read just the opposite, With SloJoe staying in the race, Trump would have way too many votes, so many in fact, that vote stealing would be not possible and VERY evident...”
This is their only problem as they’ve perfected the steal and the Big Lie about no vote fraud plus the Insurrection. They need to make the fraud somewhat believable. I believe there has been a longterm strategy to replace 46 with 44’s wife who will appear not to want to do it but be “talked into it for the good of the country”.
That’s the hope overwhelm the cheat.Problem is if they have several days to find the necessary votes it gets harder.
