MyPillow's Mike Lindell is peddling an election machine 'security' device. But voting officials aren't biting

Source: ABC News

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, one of the leading promoters of false 2020 election fraud claims, is facing pushback from election officials and experts after announcing the rollout of a device that he says can help keep elections secure.

Lindell says the wireless monitoring device, which was formally unveiled two weeks ago after Lindell first announced it in August at his so-called Election Crime Bureau Summit, is designed to detect if voting machines are connected to the internet.

The MyPillow CEO, who falsely claims that voting machines were manipulated to steal the 2020 election from Donald Trump, is facing defamation lawsuits from the voting machine companies Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic. Lindell has denied wrongdoing.

Lindell told ABC News that the monitoring devices have already been sent, at no charge, to election officials in several states including Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and Missouri. "We hope to have them in all 50 states," Lindell said. "All it does is tell you if a [voting machine] is hooked up to the internet and transmitting," Lindell said. "It's already been checked out ... 100% legal."

He destroyed his company and is now peddling more useless crap.
Maybe we should get together and sell a machine that guarantees that the Lizard People can't vote, it's about as useful.

He's just counting on everyone else being stupid.

I was a precinct poll worker for ten years and rose to the rank of inspector. The voting machines are as likely to be connected to the internet as your kitchen sink.

... the actual machines were. If you told me that a 20 year old Pentium computer had more power I'd believe you.

wouldn't the conclusive tabulation be suspect because of the device? If it's not part of the actual voting machine, I would imagine there would be a presumption of corruption.

is the best example I can find that America has crashed through the Looking Glass.

If you saw a guy rolling around in this underwear, mumbling incoherently and playing with his own poop, you'd call the insane asylum, not ABC News.
