People do not like to waste their time. There for sure will be Republicans who decided to wait until Election Day who will see the writing on the wall and won't go waste their time in a long line to vote for a loser. This has been a bad strategy all along for the Republicans, and Trump and the GOP should have encouraged them all to go vote early. There are only two reasons I can see that they didn't (and on this, I AM open to other suggestions):
1) Stupidity of the Trump campaign.
2) They figure that somehow the late Republican voters have a better chance of mucking up the results in some way so that they can cry fraud.
I will modify your second reason, which has merit.
They will cry fraud. They already are.
I have a Trump friend who says mail-in ballots don't count and aren't real.
So when Trump loses, they will say to toss out the mail-in ballots and only count the in person ballots.
Trump knows he will lose. He's encouraging in person over mail-in so he has a tool to cry foul and claim he won.
My concern is still the millions of Democrats who will wait until election day and face long lines and changed voting locations.
Not everyone in America is getting their news from Letsrun.
