No way.
The GOP is hurting, they don't have the money for all those goodies, and they don't have the key contests that are close enough to steal.
That stuff helps you when the state is a statistical tie, but there aren't that many states that are close. The election will be so far from close that the last minute fraud stuff will never happen, you don't risk pulling that crap so you can lose by 6% instead of 6.02%.
And you don't risk it to pick up a state with 6 electoral votes when you are going to lose by 150 electoral votes.
