would that be anything like having a deadly wound to the head, fantastically healing, and the whole world marveling and following him
If the president cares more about power and adulation than his country, and he thinks he might lose the election, he may spend the better part of a year promoting baseless, proven-to-be-false conspiracy theories about massive voter fraud. He might put a lackey in charge of the USPS to try to cripple it, knowing that the majority of mail-in ballots are likely to be votes for his opponent. He may start all kinds of legal battles limiting access to ballots and drop of points, and knowing hat he's also statistically likely to lose cities and win rural areas, in key metropolitan areas he may move to lower the number of available polling stations and drop off boxes to hamper the ability of people to vote in a reasonable amount of time.
He might then, on election night, with only half the votes counted, declare victory - knowing that with mail in ballots being counted last the tallies are likely to substantially change in his oppositions favor as the counting continues for a few days. He might start calling for a halt to counting votes, and start riling up his ((predominantly uneducated and predisposed to believe conspiracy)) base with baseless allegations about fraud and misconduct, flooding courts with weak lawsuits to slow down the normal election process and fuel anger & mistrust in the most basic nonpartisan processes of our government. He may then pin his hopes on taking the election out of the hands of the voters and into the hands of courts which he's stacked with his own appointees, expecting them to be more loyal to him than to rule of law and due process, buoyed by popular opinion he's carefully shaped to be ready to start a civil war over lies he's cultivated over the course of years.

Trust us. But if you don't... we will decimate the country. Yeah, yeah the radical left is the right choice for the country. Let's all shut up, sit back and let them take over. It's for our good after all.
