Aug. 12 (UPI) -- MyPillow founder Mike Lindell is refusing to concede defeat in the Minnesota governor's Republican primary election, saying there were irregularities in the vote tallies.
The conspiracy theorist and friend of President Donald Trump lost by 11 points to Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth.
A reporter on his own network, LindellTV, asked him if he would concede if The Associated Press called it for Demuth, he answered: "Why would I listen to the AP?"
"There's 265,000 votes left to count. I'm down by 18,000 now," he said. "I'm not going to give up this race until the votes are counted. That's nonsense."
