Lindell fights recount terms, seeks Minnesota Supreme Court ruling in governor race

Republican Mike Lindell balked at a state-approved, upfront hand recount for Minnesota’s GOP governor primary, objecting to a format that would name only his and Lisa Demuth’s votes while others would go in a third column. He’s prepared to pay the $825,000 needed for the recount but is seeking a Minnesota Supreme Court injunction to block the limited recount; the canvassing board certified Demuth’s win by about 45,000 votes, and Lindell has also filed election-contest lawsuits in district court and the state Supreme Court.

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.

Lindell Refuses to Concede Minnesota GOP Governor Primary as Demuth Clinches Victory

MyPillow founder Mike Lindell refused to concede Minnesota’s Republican governor primary after Lisa Demuth’s decisive lead (roughly 43.4% to 32.4%), saying votes remain to be counted and questioning the outcome. Demuth celebrated the victory and urged focus on the November race, while Lindell recently stepped down as MyPillow’s CEO to pursue the campaign and has a history of promoting election‑integrity claims; Trump endorsed Lindell. In the Democratic primary, Amy Klobuchar won the DFL race.

Lindell won't concede Minnesota GOP primary as Demuth leads by double digits

Lindell’s Minnesota Run Complicated by Texas Voter Registration

Trump-backed MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is running for Minnesota governor but remains a Texas voter, a residency quirk that could prevent him from voting for himself unless he establishes Minnesota residency for at least a year before the general election; records show his last Minnesota vote was in 2022 amid a primary race that has drawn attention to his eligibility and political prominence.

Jan. 6 figures race to cash in on Trump’s $1.8B restitution fund

CNN reports that Trump’s $1.8 billion compensation fund—touted as restitution for victims of government “weaponization and lawfare”—is drawing interest from a broad slate of allies, including January 6 rioters, fake electors, and other election deniers. Prominent figures like MyPillow’s Mike Lindell and supporters from OAN say they may file claims, while the fund’s review will be handled by a five‑member commission. The pool of potential recipients spans beyond the 2020 election, potentially including figures connected to Mueller-era investigations; the first known claimant is Michael Caputo. Critics warn the plan could politicize justice, while supporters call it overdue relief for those harmed in political battles.
