Prominent election denier and founder of MyPillow, Mike Lindell, is so confident that foul play led to his double-digit loss in the Minnesota Republican gubernatorial primary that he is willing to pay nearly $1 million to expose it.

Lindell lost the Republican primary to state Rep. Lisa Demuth (R), the Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives, by roughly 11 percentage points, well outside the 0.25% threshold at which Minnesota automatically pays for a recount. A wider margin would mean that any recount would have to be requested and paid for by the candidate.

Lindell plans to personally pay about $825,000 for a hand recount and audit of every paper ballot cast in the Republican primary race. He is claiming that his team discovered some “irregularities” in the election results that he believes were due to the use of electronic voting machines.

“Even if this recount and audit does not overturn my election for governor of Minnesota,” Lindell said in the statement, according to The Hill. “I believe this is the gateway to getting rid of these electronic voting machines.”

“One hundred and thirty-two countries have banned these machines already. The United States should be setting the standard for elections, instead we are the worst in the world,” he continued.

Lindell, who Donald Trump endorsed in the race, has refused to concede.

“I’m down by 20,000 votes with 277,00 votes left to count,” Lindell told a reporter on his network, LindellTV, who asked on election night about whether he would concede the race.

“Now, would you give up if you got 277,000 left to count? And these are the day-of votes, which haven’t been counted yet. These were all mail-in and early votes for Lisa Demuth. So, I mean, why would I say here and go, ‘Ok, I can’t make up 20,000 [with] 277,000 left to count?’ So, that’s where we’re at.”

Lindell has a history of casting doubt on election results. He has been one of Trump’s most outspoken supporters and a persistent proponent of the big lie that the 2020 election was stolen.

Lindell lost a defamation lawsuit last year and was ordered to pay $2.3 million to a former employee of a voting systems company, whom he called a traitor.
