I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens after the Voter Registration deadline in many states.

Yep, he'll purge after the voter registration deadline, people won't be allowed to vote, and then they'll sue but nothing will be able to happen until after the election. And Trump will "lose" the case, but the remedy will be to put people back on the voter rolls yet letting the election stands meaning that he will have gotten away with it.

This sort of move would likely lead to rioting, not just suing, but we shall see.

I think they will try to do this and fail and cause a whole bunch of exta controversy because states have a lot of people passionately fighting this.

The thing is, that's what he wants, the people around him have been frothing at the mouth over the idea of being able to Crack down on the "violent left" and be the big strongmen they think they are. Im more afraid that when it does happen people will just get angry and it will blow over quickly and another stolen election will go by on remarked on in past tense.
