My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell seemed to suggest that Governor Ron DeSantis’ victory in Florida last month wasn’t on the up-and-up.
DeSantis dominated his Democrat opponent in his midterm election blowout, winning by more than 1.5 million votes, a 19.4{17fd9ed690c1b52b81269a246981635feafa4e787b5d1af0bbeaebca7de63266} margin of victory.
DeSantis won 62 of Florida’s 67 counties, including 59 counties by double digits. DeSantis won Miami-Dade County, the largest county in the state and a Democrat stronghold, by 11 points. He won Palm Beach County, the third largest county in the state and another Democrat stronghold, by three points.
“What we’re doing now is, I’m going after Dade County in the 2022 election. And everyone says, ‘Well, why would you go after Dade County?’” Lindell said. “This is where Ron DeSantis won Dade County, that’s a Republican won Dade County. Well, for me, I look at deviations, everybody. That’s a deviation.”
“I don’t believe it,” Lindell claimed. “So I want to show, it’s gonna show everybody just like we always say about Democrats where they stole their elections, just like they did, the one nice lady in Georgia that got zero votes in her own precinct. I want to find out in Dade County, what happened there because it’s, it’s a deviation from norm, you know, it’s very much a deviation.”
The FBI previously seized Lindell’s cellphone in an investigation into voting machine tampering.
Lindell was ordered by a federal judge that he must face a lawsuit over false claims that he made about voting machines from Smartmatic Corp. after he tried to get the lawsuit dismissed.
Trump loyalist Mike Lindell says he’s going to audit Governor Ron DeSantis’ election win in Florida because he doesn’t “believe” that DeSantis won. He implies DeSantis “stole” the election.

Edward Buchanan, Wyoming’s Republican Secretary of State, slammed Lindell in a statement over the summer, warning: “Mike Lindell is NOT the purveyor of election integrity truth.”
“Mike Lindell, peddler of pillows and promises, traveled to Wyoming to speak in conjunction with a political rally,” Buchanan said. “While here, he took it upon himself to allege publicly that widespread election fraud occurred in our fair state. He went on to declare that anyone who does not agree with him is a traitor to our country.”
“As the Chief Election Officer for the State of Wyoming, it is important for me to ensure that each of you know that Mr. Lindell’s statement is false,” he continued. “Not only is the allegation he made untrue, it is designed to influence your opinion and obscure the truth. On behalf of Wyoming’s 23 county clerks, and my office, I offer you the truth about Wyoming’s elections.”
