In Michigan, Democrats introduced a bill in State Congress to allow state polls to start counting early mail ballots a week before Election Day. Republicans control the state legislature. They shot it down. Their logic was that it would allow for fraud to happen. In reality, they were just following the lead of the current president. Trump wanted this to happen in states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania. If those states waited to count mail ballots his campaign team knew would be heavily in favor of Biden, he could build leads in those states with in-person votes, and then discredit and ultimately challenge the validity of counting the mail ballots. His campaign team had foreseen this scenario, envisioned it, planned for it accordingly. Trump wanted this chaos. He wanted this whole show.
