Funny old thing, seems the same folks squealing about "voter fraud" are the ones actually trying to perpetrate voter fraud. Maybe because, if everyone's vote were actually counted, this thing would not even be close. And Trump knows that if he loses, he's going to prison for tax fraud.

According to that article, those were not certified poll watchers and this happened more than a month before polling day, so they weren't polling places yet.
there were several reasons why elections staff did not allow members of the public to arbitrarily enter their offices. The Trump campaign has no poll watchers approved to work in Philadelphia at the moment. There are no actual polling places open in the city right now. And elections officials are following coronavirus safety regulations, such as those limiting the number of people indoors.
I'd expect dirty tricks and thuggish vigilantes in Mugabe-land, not the land of the free.
You need to read some history books. Pay attention to the chapters on Tammany Hall in NY, and Chicago politics.
There is nothing new about election fraud in America. It dates back to the founding of the nation. Presidential elections outcomes in 1876 and 1960 were almost certainly the result of fraud. Many others may have been.

We don't actually know this. Given it seems likely that a higher percentage of Democrats voted early (since they are unlikely to buy into Trump's crap narrative about vote by mail), it's at least arguable this is being done in an attempt to sabotage Republicans.
For that matter, it could just be some asocial, apolitical ass who thinks it's funny.

What makes you so sure these text messages originate from Republicans? The "typographical error" messages target both parties, and the "don't vote today, vote tomorrow" ones would in all likelihood hurt Trump more than Biden. The general wisdom is more Biden voters voted early or by mail, and more Trump voters wait to election day to vote in-person.
Yup, just like how it's only Republicans filing court challenges about disallowing votes from Democratic districts. Why haven't we seen Democrats file court challenges about disallowing votes in Republican districts?
The military that, you know, mails in ballots from overseas? The military that Trump called "suckers?" That military? Yeah, I I don't think its Democrats that are trying to disenfrachise them.
Biden-1, Trump-25. At least Trump wins the groping contest, eh?
I mean sure, I'd love a president who never groped anyone but his or her spouse or significant other, with their consent. But you work with what you got, right?
Maybe because, if everyone's vote were actually counted, this thing would not even be close.
I no longer believe that. Win or lose, Trump already got well over 65 million votes. Even if he lost by a landslide, that still A LOT of support (well above his approval ratings).
Not really. All the polling information I read give it 50/50 at best to have a clear winner on Election Day. The vast majority said neither candidate would have a clear win that night, both would stall out somewhere a little over 200 points, and there'd probably be 6-10 states that were close enough to be within the margin of error on polling. That's pretty much what's happening now.
538s commentary and predictions leading up to the day were the ones saying that. It was as low as 80/20 for a while and tightened to 90/10 only the day before the election. Most of the commentary kept hammering home that Biden was likely to eventually win, but there was a good chance enough battleground states would be too close to call - especially with the absentee and mail-in voting - that there wouldn't be a clear winner that day.
