Now that the Democrats control the Senate, and Leahy is illegally going to preside over the trial, what makes people think that he'll even allow a defense based on voter fraud to be brought forward? Nothing about either impeachment was legal, but they went forward anyway, and I could see Leahy claiming that he will not allow anything to do with voter fraud claims being a part of this impeachment trial. Democrats illegally change the rules all the time, and are allowed to get away with it.

That is a very important point! Had Chief Justice Roberts presided, things would have gone somewhat fairly. But Leahy will be openly partisan. No doubt about it.
“Now that Democrats control the Senate...”
If Leahy presides, does he have a vote? If so, the Senate is divided 50%-50%. If not, the Republicans have the majority.
