Mike Lindell’s lead counsel on Friday discussed the “new evidence” he is hoping to put before the Supreme Court in a bid to persuade it to rule that the use of electronic voting system to cast or tabulate votes is unconstitutional.
Lindell, the MyPillow CEO and prominent Donald Trump backer, is teaming up for the case with Arizona Republican Kari Lake, who has said her 2022 defeat in the state’s gubernatorial election was marred by fraud. Lake’s allegations have already been repeatedly rejected in the courts.
This week, Lindell’s team issued a filing to the Supreme Court seeking to revive a 2022 lawsuit, dismissed by judges as “frivolous” at the time. It came from Lake and failed Arizona secretary of state candidate Mark Finchem challenging the use of electronic voting systems.
Lake and Finchem’s petition read: “Newly uncovered evidence also shows Arizona’s Maricopa County flagrantly violated state law for electronic voting systems—including using altered software not certified for use in Arizona—and actively misrepresented and concealed those violations.”
Speaking on Steve Bannon‘s War Room podcast, Finchem said he had three pieces of “concrete evidence that’s new, that was not known before.”
Firstly, Finchem said that, in 2022, authorities used altered software in electronic voting machines that had not been certified by the federal Election Assistance Commission. Finchem added that preelection “logic and accuracy” tests weren’t conducted on voting machines as required. He also said that “cyber experts have uncovered that the master cryptographic encryption keys that are used to govern and encrypt all election data had been left open on the database in plain text,” leaving it vulnerable to tampering.
