Hello there.
I heard a few stories on the Internet about what some conspiracy theorists are believing may happen in the days after the election. While I don't put much stock into these theories, one does make some modicum of sense. Trump says that there will be chaos after election day in counting the larger than normal number of mailed in ballots. What better way to drive the point home than a red state staging such chaos to help cast doubt on the election? Again, to what end? Each state will sign off on the results, each state will select it's electors, the electors will vote, the votes will be opened and a winner will be decided.
As the theory goes, the President--if he knows he won't win--will do whatever he can to make the victory of Biden as questionable as possible. That sounds like Trump.
This along with the all-but-certain court challenges the President will field if he loses.

Trump Closes Debate by Threatening Election Night Chaos
Rather than forswearing an early victory claim, Trump said the Supreme Court should weigh in on his incoherent, fact-free attacks on voting by mail.
