MyPillow Inc. Chief Executive Mike Lindell escalated a legal fight over his debunked claims of fraud in the 2020 election, with his company filing a lawsuit that seeks $1.6 billion from Dominion Voting Systems Inc., which is separately suing him and his company for defamation.
MyPillow sued Monday in federal court in Minnesota, where the company is based, doubling down on Lindell’s discredited claims of fraud against Dominion, saying “the adverse impact of electronic voting systems on the 2020 election was significant.”
“Dominion’s purpose is to silence debate; to eliminate any challenge to the 2020 presidential election; and to cancel and destroy anyone who speaks out against Dominion’s work on behalf of the government in administering the election,” MyPillow said in its complaint.
State Rep. Matt Soper, R-Delta, recently made the case for why Dominion Voting Systems, Inc., has filed several multibillion-dollar lawsuits for defamation.
The Denver-based Dominion is suing people who spread conspiracy theories that the companyâs software manipulated the results of the 2020 vote and flipped votes from Donald Trump to Joe Biden â claims for which there is no proof and which have been debunked repeatedly by reviewing courts and audits by numerous statesâ secretaries of state.
Fox News is now a target of one of the Dominion lawsuits for broadcasting âa series of verifiably false yet devastating lies about Dominion,â the complaint alleges.
