General Michael Flynn Says Trump Should Use Military to Force US Election Rerun - Tasnim News Agency

General Michael Flynn Says Trump Should Use Military

Former US national security adviser General Michael Flynn has doubled down on his calls for President Donald Trump to use the military to force an election 'rerun' in battleground states - saying such action is 'not unprecedented'.

Flynn, whose conviction for lying to the FBI during the Russia investigation was recently wiped when he was pardoned by Trump, made his latest case for invoking martial law to prevent US President-elect Joe Biden from taking office during an interview with Newsmax on Thursday.

'There is no way in the world we are going to be able to move forward as a nation. (Trump) could immediately, on his order, seize every single one of these (voting) machines,' Flynn said in apparent reference to the conspiracy theory that voting software flipped Trump votes for Biden, the Daily Mail reported.

'Within the swing states, if he wanted to, he could take military capabilities, and he could place those in states and basically rerun an election in each of those states.

'I mean, it's not unprecedented. These people are out there talking about martial law like it's something that we've never done. Martial law has been instituted 64 times.'

He added: 'We have a constitutional process. We clearly have a constitutional process. That has to be followed.'

Contrary to Flynn's suggestion, there is no record of martial law having ever been declared by a US president to hold a new election.
