Lindell, a longtime 2020 election denier, previously said he would pay $825,000 to cover a full hand recount of his lost GOP gubernatorial primary in Minnesota.
MyPillow founder Mike Lindell has long denied Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 presidential election. Now, he’s refusing to accept his own election loss in the GOP primary for governor of Minnesota.
The Minnesota Supreme Court on Saturday rejected Lindell’s bid for a full recount of his Aug. 11 loss to state House Speaker Lisa Demuth after she won the Republican primary by 45,000 votes.
Chief Justice Natalie E. Hudson wrote in a six-page ruling that the Minnesota secretary of state’s office and its State Canvassing Board provided a recount plan that follows the law and are “not committing any wrongful act, omission, or error” as Lindell claimed.

Your 15 minutes have been expired for nigh on a decade. Sit down already, you fat fuck.

I hope he saved a couple of lumpy pillows to cry on!

I thought he ran out of money to file any more pointless actions?

That's the amazing thing about these leeches. When the IRS or courts are involved, their bank accounts are basically empty and they're in the middle of filing bankruptcy. But when there's palms to grease or another yacht or mansion to buy suddenly the money returns...
The Panama papers showed us exactly how it's done and yet effectively NONE of the loopholes were fully closed, just papered over while the public was watching, if that.
