Minnesota Supreme Court Rejects Mike Lindell's Recount Bid After GOP Primary Loss
Chief Justice Natalie E. Hudson said the state’s recount plan follows law, while Lindell plans a U.S. Supreme Court appeal and county data request.
- On Saturday, the Minnesota Supreme Court denied MyPillow founder Mike Lindell's petition for a recount of the Aug. 11 primary, confirming his loss to House Speaker Lisa Demuth by over 45,000 votes.
- Lindell refused to pay the required $825,000 fee on Monday after learning the recount would only tally votes for him and Demuth, having claimed anomalies and demanded a full hand recount of all 1,100,000 ballots.
- Chief Justice Natalie Hudson wrote that election officials were 'not committing any wrongful act, omission, or error' by following established procedures, noting that Lindell's focus on alleged anomalies confuses the purpose of a manual recount with an election contest.
- Demuth is now confirmed as the Republican nominee for Minnesota governor, advancing to the November general election where she will face Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who won the Democratic-Farmer-Labor primary.
- Reached Saturday evening, Lindell said he plans to appeal the decision to the United States Supreme Court and intends to request election data from all 87 Minnesota counties to pursue an independent investigation.
