True. But it doesn’t really matter if Trump and his backers have differing reasons for wanting the appointment as the end result for everyone else is the same.

Further, you’re right, it’ll be the other party suppressing votes but that’s not about the ultimate number of votes. It’s about electoral college votes. He could still win this thing. He’s already lost the popular election once by a large number. The same thing could happen again, even by a more crushing popular vote for Biden.
