I can see trump using the mail in votes to deem the election "unofficial" and try to use that as an excuse until a "real" election can be held.

Did he ever even get started on a transition team?
I'm conscious of the possibility, and the concern is warranted, but I don't see it. The Pentagon brass doesn't seem to be loving the stuff he's threatening to do with the military over the last week. My gut tells me that if he attempted to maintain power after being beaten in November, it wouldn't be a stretch to think that come January, the military would step in and remove him. I doubt that the DC police or higher "deep state" law enforcement agencies would balk at the idea, either. Bill Barr's stumpy little ass won't be enough to protect him at that point.
