Lindell Refuses to Pay for Minnesota GOP Recount, Sues Over Scope
TL;DR
MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, a Trump ally and longtime election denier, refused to pay the $825,000 bill to fund a full hand recount of Minnesota’s GOP gubernatorial primary after learning the recount would focus only on ballots for him and Demuth rather than all ballots in the seven-candidate field; he has filed lawsuits against the secretary of state and the State Canvassing Board to challenge the scope of the recount, while state officials say the plan complies with state law and is consistent with prior recounts.
