Trump administration economic advisor Peter Navarro said similar election problems were widespread across several key swing states on Election Day.  

Navarro, in his report, The Immaculate Deception, noted six areas of concern, including outright voter fraud, ballot mishandling, contestable process fouls, equal protection clause violations, voting machine irregularities and significant statistical anomalies. 

“This is death by a thousand cuts, but more precisely death by the six dimensions of election irregularities that I identified, rather than a single silver bullet, a kraken, a smoking gun,” Navarro said. 

In his estimation, Navarro said Michigan was the worst actor of the six swing states. 

“In Michigan it was arguably the worst in Detroit, Wayne County, it was pure thuggery what appeared to happen there,” Navarro said. 

In Detroit, poll watchers allegedly faced discrinination and reported they were not allowed to properly observe the vote. 

“[T]his is kind of like the pillar of a fair election,” Navarro said. “This is like letting poll watchers come in and see whether the ballots that are being brought in, that they have a proper signature match, they’re not naked ballots, and that they’re not counted more than once when they go through the machines and we just saw just there's just a lot of affidavits talking about these kinds of things.”
