Appeals court hands Mike Lindell win in fight over $5M election fraud contest
TheHill ^ | 7/23/25 | Zach Schonfeld

Posted on 07/23/2025 2:32:44 PM PDT by CFW

A federal appeals court ruled in favor of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell on Wednesday in his bid to avoid paying $5 million to a software developer who declared victory in Lindell’s contest to disprove his claims of foreign interference in the 2020 election.

The three-judge 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel’s unanimous decision found an arbitration panel exceeded its power by changing unambiguous contract terms to award the developer Lindell’s prize.

“Fair or not, agreed-to contract terms may not be modified by the panel or by this court,” U.S. Circuit Judge James Loken wrote in the 12-page decision.

In an interview, Lindell called the lawsuit a “setup.”

“This is vindication. This opens a door that no man can shut. I am so excited. I mean, this is an answer to prayer,” Lindell told The Hill.

Good for Mike. An entire wall of Dems have been working to destroy him for several years. Same thing with Rudy G.

MN desperately needs some new leadership. Tafoya is solid, and actually could win.

Yeah, I had a few choice words myself when the arbitration decision was first made.

I can’t believe how the Obama/Biden/Clinton cabal was able to twist the law (and even break it) to go after so many people and the courts just repeatedly turned a blind eye or participated.

It is da*n good to see this wrong finally righted.
