An “ELECTION CRIME” group helmed by #MyPillow founder #Mike #Lindell sent out emails
💥requesting personal information from local election officials as well as information about security programs designed to detect threats in those counties.
Lindell is a prolific supporter of #election #denial causes and one of the most prominent voices of a movement that falsely claims the 2020 election, which Donald Trump lost to President Joe Biden, was beset with widespread fraud. 
On Sept. 5, the Lindell-backed group, the "Election Crime Bureau", emailed at least one Georgia county ⚠️requesting they take a survey about the Center for Internet Security (CIS), a nonprofit focused on cybersecurity, and its Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center, an initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to protect local election offices. 
♦️The survey asked election officials to provide personal information such as their home addresses and cell phone numbers.
♦️It also queried whether the counties are using monitoring systems, called “Albert” and “Falcon,” developed by CIS to help counties detect online threats to election systems.

NBC News · MyPillow lawyers say CEO Mike Lindell owes them millions of dollarsBy Dareh Gregorian

Prominent Donald Trump supporter and #MyPillow CEO Mike #Lindell repeatedly lost his temper, left the room and swore at opposing counsel during a series of #depositions earlier this year, according to newly released videos and transcripts.

The extraordinary interviews were conducted as part of a #defamation #lawsuit brought by Dr. Eric Coomer, former director of product strategy and security at #Dominion #Voting #Systems, who has accused Lindell of repeatedly defaming him in public and online following Trump’s loss in the 2020 presidential race.

“Don’t sit and scold me already, mister. I’ll do whatever I have to do,” Lindell said at the start of a March 8 deposition, addressing Coomer’s attorney. “You’re just a lawyer. You’re an ambulance chasing lawyer, so don’t start with me. I got all day. I’ll take as much time as you want, so let’s go. You’re not my boss. You’re just a lawyer, a frivolous lawyer. So go. Don’t start scolding me"

The stupid just get stupider. Lindell is flaunting his stupid in StupidWorld.

Via Will Sommer:

MyPillow's Mike #Lindell has been hyping his secret plan to save elections for a week. He just released it — and it's a little drone he plans to fly over polling sites.

Kelly Dereuck:

Live from the Mike Lindell event on day 2: so far the plan to secure our elections is to fly a wifi detection device on drones over polling places to see if voting machines are connected to the internet.
