'Sorest loser in American history' Trump has three-part plan to steal the election: expert

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : "Trump and his allies are (1) softening the public's belief in the legitimacy of election results ahead of time by hammering the message that the election will be rigged; (2) abusing the courts with pre-election lawsuits as a launching pad for the claim that he was the real winner; and (3) inciting anger among his followers -- including perhaps armed militants eager to turn to violence -- should he suffer election defeat.
44% : "The best way to prevent that from happening is running up the score to make his loss impossible to deny, Aftergut wrote, but Republicans have already filed a flurry of pre-election lawsuits aimed at disenfranchising likely Democratic voters, and even if most of them fail they provide Trump with a narrative that the courts didn't do enough to protect election integrity.

20% : "Trump is the sorest loser in American history," Aftergut wrote.
17% : So he's working overtime to get not just his supporters but also the press and the wider public to shrug off the post-election denialist threat as just Trump being Trump.
