Trump stokes suspicions about assassination attempt, raising fears of more violence - The Washington Post
"This is all set up to prime his base to believe that, if his loses in November, the Democrats have once again stolen the election, that Harris is illegitimate, and they should in some respects come to his defense," said Barbara F. Walter, a professor at the University of California at San Diego and the author of "How Civil Wars Start and How to Stop Them." If his polls deteriorate in coming weeks and it looks like he may lose, she added, "he's going to ratchet up that narrative even further."…

How Michigan Republicans’ campaign is a ‘direct attack on democracy’
Roebuck, like clerks in other counties, has sought to reassure voters with greater transparency about how the counting process works and in the training of poll workers. He said that many of them are persuaded of the legitimacy of the vote once they see the system at work.

The not-so-neat trick GOP candidates play on the ‘stolen election’ - The Washington Post
This isn't simply the "rigged" argument but instead sits in the middle between that and what Trump alleges. Curbside voting is "corrupt" because … why? Because of fraud? Or because it's an expansion of access in more Democratic areas? That it could be perceived as either, of course, is the point. If expanding the vote in general is treated as dishonest or illegal, as above, then you can simply wave your hand at any tool for making voting easier as something to be avoided at all costs.
