Mike Lindell Vows to Keep Pursuing ‘Election Fraud’ Despite Trump’s 2024 Win
Even after celebrating what he calls “the greatest election in history” on November 5, MyPillow CEO and Trump ally Mike Lindell has pledged to continue investigating alleged election fraud, particularly regarding the 2020 election. Known for promoting conspiracy theories about election interference, Lindell insisted that his mission to uncover fraud remains active, despite former President Donald Trump’s recent victory.
In an interview with Steve Bannon, Lindell expressed his determination to push forward. Although Trump secured the presidency, Lindell argued there was still more work to be done “to get our country back.” When Bannon brought up the issue of the 2020 election, highlighting what he called a “massive” discrepancy in voter ballots between 2020 and 2024, he asked if Lindell would continue his investigation into whether the previous election had been “stolen.”
Lindell’s response was emphatic: “Absolutely. We’re not letting up on 2020. That’s where it’s all at, everybody.” Despite extensive studies and investigations showing no evidence of widespread voter fraud in 2020, Lindell has been unwavering in his belief that the election was compromised. He acknowledged that it has “taken a long time” to conduct his inquiries but stressed that he and his allies “will never stop until we get to the bottom of it.” For Lindell, the fight is far from over.
“It’s impossible, absolutely impossible,” he stated, arguing that certain results from 2020 defy “mathematical” probability. “When things are mathematically impossible, you have to check-in. You can’t just put it aside and say, ‘We’ll let it go.’” This is not the first time Lindell has publicly announced his intentions to keep pushing his theories.
Over the past few years, he has held several “cyber symposiums” intended to present evidence of alleged election interference, though his claims have been widely debunked by election experts and dismissed by the courts. His persistent rhetoric around election fraud has not only drawn attention but also legal challenges, with defamation lawsuits from voting machine companies that dispute Lindell’s unfounded accusations.
As Trump supporters celebrate his 2024 victory, Lindell’s determination to revisit 2020 raises questions about how much focus Trump’s inner circle will continue to place on allegations from past elections. Lindell has asserted that addressing what he calls “fraud” from 2020 remains essential to prevent any future compromises in election integrity, even as some GOP leaders urge the party to move forward.
For now, Lindell’s statements reflect an ongoing divide among Trump allies: while some are content to look ahead to Trump’s new term, others, like Lindell, remain focused on the past. His resolve to pursue investigations into 2020, despite substantial evidence to the contrary, signals that claims of election interference may persist as talking points among certain factions of Trump’s supporters.
In the coming years, as Trump’s administration unfolds, Lindell’s continued focus on 2020 may shape future discussions within the party and among Trump’s base, especially as he promotes his commitment to rooting out what he deems “fraud” in elections. Whether this narrative will evolve remains uncertain, but Lindell’s persistence suggests that 2020 election claims could linger in American political discourse for some time.
