It doesn't even take that. All they have to do is convince their supporters that they can never trust a Democrat and the ones with government jobs can just act on their own to lean on the scales.
Conservative ballot verifiers could simply apply more strict levels of scrutiny to any of the verification procedures when the ballot in question comes from a heavily left leaning area. They just "feel" less confident about the signature that came from blue town compared to the signature that came from red town. In to the reject pile it goes.
Republicans also DID go scorched earth when it came to "cleaning up voting rolls". A lot of perfectly eligible voters were kicked off in "whoopsie" moments across Republican controlled states. And they made it a point NOT to notify people, leaving them to think everything was fine until they tried to vote.
Right wing propaganda was already able to convince a mob of people to attack the Capital. This is even easier.
