Mike Lindell, CEO of My Pillow, has claimed to possess evidence of election computer manipulation and has called for the elimination of voting machines in the United States. The statement was made on X.

"Here is a pile of evidence of computer manipulation in our elections and why we have to melt down the voting machines and turn them into prison bars," said Lindell. "Help save our country!"

Recent claims regarding computer manipulation of voting machines in U.S. elections have led to several federal and state investigations. However, according to the Associated Press, election officials and security experts assert there is no credible evidence of widespread tampering or hacking.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency states that there have been no verified cases of voting machine tampering that altered election results in recent U.S. cycles. Most reported issues involve minor technical glitches or user error.

A 2023 report by the Brennan Center for Justice indicates that all 50 states use voting machines but differ in technology and security measures. Of these states, 38 use paper backups, and 41 conduct post-election audits to enhance election integrity.

Lindell is a prominent activist known for his business background and public campaigns concerning alleged voting machine manipulation, including efforts to promote audits and lawsuits, as noted by Reuters.

My Pillow, founded by Lindell in 2009, is a Minnesota-based bedding company recognized for its direct-to-consumer sales model and Lindell’s visible activism on election issues, according to CNBC.
