Dominion Voting Systems and Liberty Vote companies have dismissed all claims against Mike Lindell and My Pillow, Inc. in the companies’ $1.3 billion lawsuit alleging Mike defamed the companies with claims of complicity in election fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
The case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be brought again and each side will pay its own legal fees and costs.
The dispute was part of a series of lawsuits following the 2020 presidential election, with voting technology companies and public figures facing off in court over claims related to election integrity and defamation. According to the original complaint, Lindell claimed the 2020 presidential election was rigged, and that Dominion's voting machines were part of it, reported Minnesota’s FOX News 9.
In December 2025, Lindell announced he's running for Minnesota governor in this year’s election. Incumbent Far Left Democrat and failed vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz is not seeking re-election on the Democrat-Farm-Labor side. However, to get to the General Election Mr. Lindell first must get by popular Republican Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives Lisa Demuth.
"I can now run for governor, win governor, and not have to have in the back of my mind a worry about a $1.3 billion lawsuit," Lindell told WCCO.
Mr. Lindell recently lost the Republican Party endorsement for the Minnesota gubernatorial race, however, a KSTP/SurveyUSA poll earlier this month found that Lindell is leading the race for the Republican nomination for Governor of Minnesota as the primary election draws near.
Lindell said a newly released 799-page document from Election Crime Bureau shows evidence that the 2020 U.S. presidential election was compromised through widespread irregularities involving voter rolls, ballot accounting, election record preservation, and voting systems.
"I wonder what Fox News thinks, when they settled for $787 million?" Lindell said, regarding Fox News' decision to settle a similar defamation suit by paying Dominion $787.5 million in 2023.
"Maybe they should have held out," Lindell said according to reporting by AOL News.
Mr. Lindell also won another victory in his many legal battles when a federal appeals court ruled that the MyPillow founder doesn’t have to pay a $5 million award to a software engineer who disputed data that Lindell claims proves that China interfered in the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that an arbitration panel overstepped its authority in 2023 when it awarded $5 million to the engineer, Robert Zeidman, of Las Vegas, who took Lindell up on his “Prove Mike Wrong Challenge.”
“It’s a great day for our country,” a jubilant Lindell said in an interview. “This is a big win. It opens the door to getting rid of these electronic voting machines and getting paper ballots, hand-counted.”
