Conspiracy Theorist Mike Lindell To Audit DeSantis’ Historic Re-Election Win: ‘I Don’t Believe It’

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, a noted conspiracy theorist and a diehard Trump loyalist, seemed to suggest without any evidence 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% 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.
