The pace and freneticism with which Donald Trump and his Bannonite administration has pursued democratic rollback is daunting. Donald Trump is doing this not just to soothe his ego or convince himself that he is a legitimate President. He is making these statements and instructing those around him to find supporting evidence, even though there is none, for a reason. He is laying the groundwork both for more restrictive voter access laws and, more dauntingly, for not leaving office if he loses in 2020. In 2020, if a Democrat, or anybody else, manages to defeat Donald Trump, he will very possibly blame his defeat on imaginary, illegal votes and refuse to accept the outcome of that election.
