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.

The two fundamental laws of the universe are:

1) e = mc²

2) When things seem to be going their way, conservatives will begin tearing one another down and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Lindell is a deadbeat and have eveything he owns seized to pay his debts. He needs to go away.

He needs to stay in the background fighting the battle. He has no chance of getting elected to anything and is a distraction.
