Mike Lindell misses deadline for recount payment, seeks restraining order
Lindell says he has evidence of voting anomalies and is seeking a court order to preserve a recount after missing the state payment deadline.
- On Aug. 24, Mike Lindell missed the deadline to officially file for a hand recount of the Minnesota primary election results, ending his attempt to challenge the outcome.
- The Trump-endorsed candidate lost the GOP nomination to Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth by 11 points, or about 45,000 votes, prompting his recount request over alleged 'irregularities'.
- A recount plan approved by the State Canvassing Board on Aug. 18 estimated a cost of $825,000, which Lindell failed to pay by the required deadline.
- Claiming the recount process changed and does not follow Minnesota law, Lindell continues to solicit funds for his ongoing legal action despite the missed deadline.
- As the Minnesota Secretary Office confirmed the deadline passed, Lindell's future protest efforts remain uncertain while he continues seeking donations for his legal battle.
