I don't think I agree with it *decreasing*, though I can see arguments both ways. In a perverted way, it makes the election seem closer, and will therefore increase turnout.

Think of it: which angle will make more Republicans turn out, "Biden is set to win in a landslide" or "Trump will steal the election, if its close"? The former encourages despondence, the latter signals to them that Trump A.) hasn't given up, and B.) will do anything to win.

As for Democrats, I would HOPE talk of Republican chicanery underlines the importance of Biden winning BIG. Because they can't steal a blowout.

Biden winning decisively, in-person, on election day, would all-but cancel any shot Trump would have at stealing this.
