Mike Lindell sure has a lot of opinions about election integrity for a guy who runs a pillow company. For months now, he has been peddling garbage about how the 2020 U.S. presidential election was stolen. This week, he was supposed to finally prove it. He scheduled a multi-day "Cyber Symposium" in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where he promised to show proof of election fraud. By the end of it, he claimed, the truth would be so clear that Donald Trump would be immediately reinstated as president.
Real quick, here is what Lindell claims: In the lead-up to the so-called symposium, he said that he had amassed 37 terabytes of “irrefutable” evidence that shows that China hacked the 2020 election and rigged the outcome in Joe Biden's favor. The evidence apparently hinges on supposedly intercepted network data or “packet captures,” which show that votes were changed. Lindell promised to release this information at the conference, and was so sure of the ironclad status of this evidence that he has argued that the Supreme Court would vote 9-0 to overturn the election once presented with it.
