It will, the GOP will make sure of it. They've already convinced themselves that it is happening, so why not cheat for their side?

It already has happened. The only cases of voting irregularities have been in favor of candidates on the right. Just a few examples that have facts and data to back them up:

Lots of issues in Ohio in 2004 helped W get reelected: https://web.archive.org/web/20060614200223/http://www.iwantmyvote.com/lib/downloads/references/house_judiciary/final_status_report.pdf

Statistically fishy votes in Florida that same year: https://www.wired.com/2004/11/researchers-florida-vote-fishy/

Voter disenfranchisement in Florida swayed the election in 2000: https://www.usccr.gov/files/pubs/vote2000/report/exesum.htm

The left has allowed the GOP to get away with blatant fraud, minimally fighting back while maintaining a level of decorum, and these crazy right wingers have the absolute gall to loudly accuse the left of fraud.
