💨 Abstract

A federal appeals court ruled that Mike Lindell, founder of MyPillow, does not have to pay a $5 million award to a software engineer who contested data Lindell presented to support his false claims of election fraud in 2020. The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals found that the arbitration panel exceeded its authority in 2023 when it awarded the money. Lindell celebrated the decision, advocating for paper ballots.
