“I brought them up thinking that they were going to become key in helping unscramble [fraud], which they were,” Byrne said. Ramsland and Waldron laid out the same theory as Byrne’s team but in more depth, Trimarco said, asserting that finding fraud in election machines in six key counties could turn an election. At the time, Navarro was compiling a three-volume report on election fraud for state and federal lawmakers, Trimarco said. When Giuliani, Powell or their lawyers determined a county official was willing to let them examine election machines, Byrne’s team would fly there in an attempt to access the machines or data. Election experts pointed out glaring errors and omissions in the report, but the Trump team’s theory that fraud occurred took root.
