Voting machine company drops $1.3 billion defamation suit against Mike Lindell

 Dominion Voting Systems, which was sold last year to a former GOP election official and is now called Liberty Vote, said it “agreed to a confidential settlement.”

Liberty Vote, formerly known as Dominion Voting Systems, is dropping its $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against MyPillow and its CEO, Mike Lindell.

● The lawsuit, concerning claims made by Lindell about rigging the 2020 election, was originally filed in 2021.

● A confidential settlement was reached, with all parties agreeing to bear their own legal costs.

● Lindell estimated that the legal battle has cost him around $20 million.

● Lindell views the lawsuit's dismissal as positive news for MyPillow, stating it has been a long attack on himself and his company.

● He is currently running as a Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota, facing competition in the party primary.

● Meanwhile, Lindell still faces a defamation lawsuit from another company, Smartmatic, and was previously found liable for defaming a former Dominion executive.

The end of this lawsuit marks a significant development for Lindell and MyPillow, amidst ongoing challenges from other legal actions related to election claims.
