Should Democrats take back the House (and perhaps even the Senate), he wants to be able to say that the election was a scam and therefore won't accept the results. It's a no-lose for him. If he can limit mail-in voting in red states, it might help his side. But if he can't limit them overall, he has his big reason for refusing to accept the results.
