It might be. If they can't cheat in 2022, they can't win. I know we haven't yet fixed 2020 or completely secured election integrity. However, this process is underway and much has been done in many areas. Their cheating will be curbed in many areas and in areas where integrity measures aren't as far advanced, a believable defrauding will be nearly impossible to pull off. I can only guess that they have so far veered from obvious wishes of the American people because they intended on having completed their installation of their authoritarian regime before having to face the public again in a legitimate election.
