In December of 2020, Flynn also had this to say (video at link of him saying it):

"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 during an interview with Newsmax on Thursday in an apparent reference to the far-right conspiracy theory that voting software was rigged to skew Trump votes in favor of Biden.

"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."

"We have a constitutional process. We clearly have a constitutional process. That has to be followed."

Gen. Flynn is quite correct. During Reconstruction, the military ran the elections in the South to ensure that the Equal Protection Clause was not violated. It is not at all unprecedented. The precedent is well established.

Flynn and company tried to persuade Trump to take this road back in mid December. For their efforts, the Trump inner circle locked them out of the Whitehouse.
