Yeah, voter fraud nonsense is clearly just an excuse for Trump to eventually accept defeat without having to admit it to himself that he is a "loser". Irrespective of whether voter ID laws are seen as safeguarding voting, or a suppression tactic, the South has a long history of voter intimidation, which is itself a way of defrauding the electorate. How so? By suggesting that white supremacist leaders are legitimate authorities when a significant fraction of the electorate was prevented from voting. Poll taxes, state-sanctioned domestic terrorism, etc. This was done by Democrats until the parties switched places in maintaining the racial hegemony of the South, and for the last 50 years has been done by Republicans. Though the more egregious examples have stopped (poll taxes, terrorism), having the same party that promoted those tactics for half a century suddenly so concerned about the voting process is en face ridiculous.
