MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, a longtime 2020 election denier, sued the Minnesota secretary of state and election officials, claiming they changed the scope of a potential recount in the GOP gubernatorial primary this month.
Lindell, who lost Aug. 11 to state House Speaker Lisa Demuth by about 45,000 votes, said last week that he would pay $825,000 on Monday to cover the cost of a full hand recount and audit of the race, in which he finished a distant second despite an endorsement from President Donald Trump.

He needs to shut up and go away now.
Weird.
I disagree. He needs to fight. We need more people to fight this. WE need to fight this.
I understand why many (and I assume you are one of them) dislike Mike Lindell, but I give him credit for putting his money where his mouth is. This all stems from 2020, we know there was fraud in 2020, and if he fought poorly, at least the guy fought when many of us were gnashing our teeth in anger at the obvious fraud.
Just my two cents. I get that you feel differently; I just disagree.
2020 election fraud denier, NBC, says ...
... and I say, eff the Marxist Media!
“””I disagree. He needs to fight. We need more people to fight this. WE need to fight this.””””
He said he was cheated. He said he would pay for the recount. He didn’t. Now he wants to continue hollering which will be a huge distraction for the Republican candidate. He needs to go away for awhile.
I get that he claims to be a “fighter”. But I don’t see any qualities that would make me want him to be in office.
“MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, a longtime 2020 election denier...”
...and Amnesty supporter. It would sure be nice if people running for high office as a Republicans would spend 5 minutes or so finding out what the REPUBLICAN BASE wants out of their elected officials.
Hmm, why are you trying to silence Lindell, one of Trump's biggest supporters? He needs to fight this. It's totally illegal what happened to him.
“””Hmm, why are you trying to silence Lindell, one of Trump’s biggest supporters? He needs to fight this. It’s totally illegal what happened to him. “”””
I’m not trying to silence him. He just needs to shut up and go away. He is a huge distraction. He can fight this behind the scenes.
Can’t stand him...my gut tells me so...
He supports Trump to his benefit...not Trump’s.
“longtime 2020 election denier”
Ended right there. Nope, no bias there....
The democrats a great at making recounts worthless. Without checking that all the ballots were from legit voters the recount is worthless anyways.
Just a correction-he doesn’t “claim” to be a fighter.
You may not like the way he fights or even that he DOES fight, but he has paid with millions out of his own pocket and political blackballing by retailers who oppose his fight on the subject of election integrity and tried to bankrupt him.
He fights, he doesn’t “claim” to be a fighter. He is a fighter.
That said, I understand and concede to you that your point that he can be a distraction to the current candidate who did win.
Fair enough.
Mike, you have reached the point of diminishing returns. Time to wrap it up and fade away.
He's almost lost his company due to supporting Trump. If he's doing this for his personal benefit - for which I see zero evidence - then he's not doing a very good job of it.
Good for him. I like his attitude.
OMG, you ingrate. If not for him we probably would have no clue about the vile acts surrounding Nov. 2020. He sacrificed millions of his own dollars. He was willing to take one (by “one”, I mean “MANY”) for the team and be called a buffoon to draw attention to the fraud on a grand scale.
The day Biden’s FBI stole his cell phone while he was in a drive-thru ... there are no words.
He distracted from the very real voting irregularities with utter nonsense conspiracies, making him a good foil for those who questioned the methods used to paint them as nuts and report on that vs. the actual tangible concerns. So I can’t agree we need these kinds of “fighters.”
This appears to be more of the same.
And now..same story...different day...
