Patrick Colbeck is a former Michigan state senator, an aerospace engineer, and a poll challenger in Detroit. He served at the Absentee Voter Counting Board from 5 p.m. on Election Day to roughly 5:30 p.m. the next day.

Colbeck said the counting boards all had electronic poll books, which are one of the links in the chain of custody to maintain an election.
