MyPillow founder Mike Lindell has announced he will personally fund a statewide hand recount and audit of Minnesota’s Republican primary for governor after losing to Lisa Demuth by approximately 45,000 votes. Lindell claims irregularities in electronic voting data, including backward-moving totals and synchronized vote counts across candidates. While the state estimates the official recount cost at $825,000, Lindell expects total expenses to reach $1 million due to private investigative teams. His running mate has simultaneously filed a petition with the Minnesota Supreme Court alleging uncertified voting systems, though state officials have already certified Demuth as the nominee. Lindell maintains this effort is a 'gateway' to eliminating electronic voting machines, despite ongoing defamation lawsuits from voting machine companies.
U.S. Senate candidate David McCormick has filed a lawsuit against the Philadelphia Board of Elections to halt the counting of provisional ballots in the Pennsylvania Senate race, which could trigger a recount. McCormick, who is leading by a slim margin, is challenging ballots from voters whose mail-in ballots were invalidated. The lawsuit seeks to sequester these ballots until the U.S. Supreme Court intervenes, citing potential legal implications and impact on the election outcome. The McCormick campaign also requested additional Republican observers for the ballot counting process.
