MyPillow CEO and outspoken election conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell won President Donald Trump’s coveted endorsement for governor of Minnesota, leaving the GOP in the state flat-footed as they were trying to navigate a crowded field of other candidates — a situation Trump is also causing in some other states.
But there’s a new complication, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune: Lindell isn’t even registered to vote in Minnesota.
“A Minnesota Star Tribune review of voter records shows Lindell has an active voter registration in Texas,” said the report. Lindell, who has become notorious in recent years for his fanciful claims that the 2020 election was rigged against Trump, “acknowledged last year he had been living in Texas and that he’d have to reestablish residency in Minnesota to run for governor, something he says he has now done.”
Despite Lindell’s claims, he has “not signed up to cast a ballot for himself since his return to Minnesota, and Texas lists an active voter registration record.”
Trump’s announcement of a Lindell endorsement earlier this week, which came just months after the state was ravaged by a federal Department of Homeland Security takeover of Minneapolis, touted the pillow salesman’s loyalty to the MAGA cause.
