US Former national security adviser Michael Flynn says US President Donald Trump could deploy the US military to "rerun" the election if he wanted to.
Speaking to US news outlet Newsmax on Thursday (local time), Flynn outlined the options Trump could take to keep the "integrity" of the US 2020 election intact.
"The President has to plan for every eventuality," Flynn said, "because we can not allow this election and the integrity of our election to go the way it is. This is just totally unsatisfactory."
Following a suggestion the President could immediately make an order to "seize" every voting machine, he discussed the possibility of Trump using the military to redo elections in every swing state.
"Within the swing states if he wanted to he could take military capabilities and he could place them in those states and basically rerun an election in each of those states," he told Newsmax.
Flynn then explained using martial law was not unheard of.
"It's not unprecedented, these people are out there talking about martial law like it's something we've never done… martial law has been instituted 64 times."
The former security advisor said he wasn't calling for martial law to be in place and he "didn't know" if Trump would take any of these possible actions before expressing his concern over US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
The US Justice Department has said there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud, and the Department of Homeland Security said it was actually the "most secure in American history". Recounts in states with close results have not changed the results.
Trump last week also criticised the Supreme Court for refusing to take on a case he hoped would overturn President-elect Joe Biden's election victory saying it had "zero interest in the merits of the greatest voter fraud ever perpetrated on the United States of America".
"This is a great and disgraceful miscarriage of justice," Trump wrote on Twitter.
Flynn was pardoned by Trump in November ending a year-long prosecution in the Russia Investigation where the former security advisor pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI twice.
Joe Biden won the US Electoral College vote on Tuesday, officially confirming him as US President-elect, with 306 electoral college votes, compared to 232 for Trump.
