Despite campaigning for governor in Minnesota, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell remains a registered voter in Texas. State law requires gubernatorial candidates to have been a Minnesota resident for at least a year prior to the general election, and voting records indicate Lindell last cast a ballot in Minnesota in 2022. This situation presents an ironic challenge for a candidate who has frequently questioned the integrity of U.S. election systems. Lindell is currently leading the Republican primary field, though hypothetical matchups show a significant lead for the incumbent Democrat.

Mike Lindell, a figure often in the news for his outspoken support of Donald Trump and his own business ventures, is reportedly not registered to vote in Minnesota, the state where he is seeking the Republican nomination for governor. This revelation, amplified by discussions online, highlights a significant point of contention for any candidate aiming to represent a state: basic residency and voter registration.
The idea that a candidate for governor, particularly one endorsed by a former president, might not be a registered voter in the very state they wish to lead raises immediate questions about their commitment and eligibility. It’s the kind of detail that, in normal political discourse, would be a major hurdle, if not an outright disqualifier.… Continue reading
President Donald Trump has formally endorsed MyPillow founder Mike Lindell for Minnesota governor, praising him as a patriot and a fellow election denier, just as he prepares for a national address on election security. Lindell, a staunch Trump supporter, has echoed the former president’s unsubstantiated claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, with Trump asserting Lindell would “bring Minnesota back from oblivion.” This endorsement comes amidst Trump’s attacks on outgoing Governor Tim Walz regarding alleged childcare fraud, a narrative Democrats, including gubernatorial candidate Amy Klobuchar, are largely bypassing in favor of focusing on immigration crackdowns and other recent state tragedies.

The recent settlement in the defamation lawsuit brought by a voting machine company against Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO, has certainly sparked a lot of conversation and, frankly, some pretty wild speculation. It’s a story that’s been unfolding, and the final act, at least for now, involves a $1 billion claim being resolved without a massive public payout from Lindell himself.
What’s particularly striking about this settlement is the timing and the subsequent news that the voting machine company in question has been sold. Reports indicate that the company was acquired in October by a group led by Scott Leiendecker, whose professional background includes serving as an election director for the city of St.… Continue reading
During a live interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Texas, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was served with legal documents by an unidentified woman. Despite Lindell’s attempts to avoid the interaction, the woman insisted he accept the papers, which he eventually grabbed and discarded.

In a recent Supreme Court ruling, Texas’s gerrymandered maps were upheld, with the court citing the closeness to the election and the lack of illegal racial basis. The decision reflects the court’s trend of limiting anti-gerrymandering protections, raising questions about whether they will apply the same standards to California. The ruling potentially equalizes the actions of both states, which could lead to further challenges. Meanwhile, President Trump reversed his stance on affordability, dismissing it as a Democratic ploy despite previously embracing the issue and the increasing economic concerns. Lastly, MyPillow founder Mike Lindell filed paperwork to run for governor of Minnesota, continuing his involvement in politics despite ongoing legal battles over his election conspiracy theories.

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Bryan ruled that MyPillow founder Mike Lindell defamed Smartmatic by making false claims that its voting machines rigged the 2020 presidential election. The judge, however, deferred the question of whether Lindell acted with “actual malice,” which is required for Smartmatic to collect damages. Lindell repeatedly stated in documentaries and media appearances that the machines were rigged, specifically in Los Angeles County where Smartmatic was used. Smartmatic is now seeking substantial damages from Lindell, as it aims to hold him accountable for spreading lies.
