Mike Lindell is not ready to rest his weary head. The MyPillow magnate stepped aside from his bedding business to run as a Republican for the governorship of Minnesota – and earned President Trump’s “COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT.” Sadly for him, primary voters in the Land of 10,000 Lakes didn’t heed his call to arms: with 95 percent of the vote counted, Lindell trails Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth by over 45,000 votes.
Lindell was infamously subject to defamation lawsuits from voting machine companies Dominion and Smartmatic for claiming they had rigged the 2020 presidential election against Trump. Naturally, he smells foul play in his own defeat. Earlier this morning, Lindell told a huddle of press that there were “problems with the computers.”
“Get rid of these computers in our elections, we’re like a third-world country,” he said.
Lindell was counting on the Election Day votes to make up his margin, but was stymied by an advantageous set of ballots for Demuth. “All of a sudden it went like this for me,” he said, miming a downward trajectory. “It went straight up for her, it just doesn’t make sense you guys.”
Lindell says he has his own “different teams” assessing the ballots and that one had spotted “a couple anomalies.”
