Chris Thomas served almost four decades as Michigan’s state Director of Elections and advised poll workers during the recent ballot counting in Detroit.
As a man who oversaw voting and poll challenges in Detroit, says he and the president have vastly differing views about the legitimacy of the ballot count.
Donald Trump is refusing to concede the presidential election, and some Republicans are calling on him to contest the result.

Trump is set to launch a series of legal challenges to the ballot counting, though several, including one in Michigan, have already been dismissed.
