Mike Lindell Teases Supreme Court Evidence

Mike Lindell has said that he will bring explosive new evidence to the Supreme Court regarding Kari Lake's bid to challenge the use of electronic tabulation systems.

Speaking to Steve Bannon on the podcast War Room, the MyPillow CEO said he had strong evidence in the case that would help him save this country.

Trump ally Lake and failed Arizona secretary of state candidate Mark Finchem filed an April 2022 lawsuit, with support from Lindell, that alleged the systems used to count votes were not trustworthy.

Lake went on to file another lawsuit on December 9, asking a court to throw out certified election results in Arizona and declare her the winner of the November 2022 midterm election over Katie Hobbs, who won the governor race by just over 17,000 votes.

However, Lindell said that because the electronic tabulation systems case was dismissed on standing he was able to bring new evidence to the Supreme Court.

"This is big, everybody. This is what we've been waiting for," he said. "The lawyers gave me this to read there this morning, it's a petition for writ of certiorari."

"This isn't just some tinfoil hat case; this is huge," Lindell added.

"This new evidence is the most explosive evidence ever. Just in the last two months, we got this everybody. The lawyers are excited; the whole world is gonna watch us. This coming Friday on the steps of the Supreme Court, 3 p.m. We're gonna hand-deliver this to the world, Steve; it's going to be the biggest thing ever, and we are going to save this country."

Speaking to Newsweek by phone, Lindell said his lawyers had found the evidence three months ago and reiterated that it is "very explosive." "This isn't to overturn the 2020 elections; this is about getting rid of voting machines," he added. Not drawn on what the evidence is, Lindell said: "It is something that has never been presented before in history.

"Everyone will be concerned, whether you are a Republican or a Democrat. It's going to be amazing."

Lindell has been an outspoken critic of electronic voting machines. He wants U.S. elections to be held using paper ballots. Lindell has also used his money to pay for $500 wireless monitoring devices he says are designed to detect whether voting machines are connected to the internet. Their legitimacy has been disputed.

Last year, Lindell said he had spent over $40 million in various bids to overturn the 2020 election. He told Right Side Broadcasting Network: "With the money that I used to save this country ... I've spent over $40 million ... and I need help. You know, we need help but we need help making the voice bigger and we need help."

Lindell is also facing three defamation cases over his unsubstantiated claims that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, from voting-machine manufacturers Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic, and by Eric Coomer, a former Dominion employee. The claimants say Lindell's comments damaged their reputation. Lindell has denied wrongdoing and has said the legal cases have created financial difficulties for him.
