Electoral tampering (rigging) by the Party in power would be good for reversing a key turned against the incumbent's party. Note well that this seems to have never have happened before. This would hold true if the incumbent's Party manipulated the results of primaries of the challenger's party to select a sure loser.
Foreign interference in the electoral process on behalf of a challenger would be a key turning strongly against the incumbent. This includes fake news and hacking of electoral databases.
Apparently, agents of the Trump campaign have been working hard to get Kanye West on the ballot for President in every state where it might matter (scroll down to the article). I doubt it will work very well in most places, but it might siphon away enough voles, mostly from young black men, to tip the balance to Trump in a close race.
Some of the GOP agents are already identified as legal representatives of the GOP or Trump for President --not that scumbaggery has ever limited them in any way.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
