In an exclusive bombshell interview with LifeSiteNews, former Michigan state senator and aerospace engineer Patrick Colbeck brought to light a long list of scandalous violations of voting procedure in Detroit, including brazen lies, cheating, and violations of Michigan law.

"Anybody who's claiming an election victory on the basis of what happened, particularly in the state of Michigan and in the Detroit Absent Voter [AV] counting board, should not be claiming any sort of victory at all," Colbeck told LifeSite's Lisa Stover. "Because I'm telling you, the fraud that we witnessed, the interference… are going to knock the socks off of people that may think that this is just a matter of the vote that's been cast, move on, there's nothing to see here."

Colbeck explained that as poll challenger – a role distinct from that of poll watcher – he could "challenge the execution" of the voting process at each of his local precincts, if anything illegal was performed. He likened himself to a kind of "floor general" of poll challengers, responsible for highlighting issues that other poll challengers brought to his attention.

"If you don't like what you're seeing or if they say, 'talk to the hand,' and ignore you, then you can file a formal complaint, a poll challenge that's supposed to be entered into the poll book, which is kind of like a journal of the proceedings of the day as to who voted, who didn't vote, and what issues came up during the day. If you get into lawsuit territory or recounts, that's part of the public record that will be discussed in the course of that lawsuit," said Colbeck.

Colbeck noted, "The poll workers themselves are fairly cooperative; they just want to do the right thing. But some of the chief election officials seemed to be intent on interfering with actual oversight activities of our officials, which is blatantly against the law. And that interference did not start on election day, November 3 – it started well before that."
