Lindell funds statewide hand recount of Minnesota GOP governor primary ballots

Mike Lindell says he will cover a statewide hand recount and audit of Minnesota’s GOP governor primary ballots, at no cost to taxpayers, citing irregularities in reporting. The recount aims to verify results after Lisa Demuth won the nomination by about 45,000 votes; Lindell says the process could pave the way for removing voting machines. He cited anomalies such as backward vote totals, synchronized tallies across candidates, and counties reporting more votes than cast. Minnesota’s Secretary of State has not yet commented on the claims.
