Mike Lindell lost the Minnesota Republican primary for governor by 11 percentage points. According to NBC News, the MyPillow founder now says he is prepared to spend upwards of $1 million on a full hand recount of the results from the August 11 contest.
Lindell finished behind Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth in the race. He had received an endorsement from President Donald Trump. On election night, Lindell refused to concede as the numbers showed Demuth moving toward a clear win.
