MyPillow CEO's lawsuit against voting machine company is finally put to bed after purchase by former election official

The voting hardware and software company formerly known as Dominion Voting Systems is putting an end to a yearslong legal battle with erstwhile Minnesota pillow magnate Mike Lindell.

On Monday, in a four-page motion filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., Liberty Vote Holdings, Inc. and My Pillow, Inc. — along with the extant Dominion subsidiary and Lindell himself — agreed "to the dismissal of all claims and causes of action asserted…with prejudice," meaning the same allegations cannot be filed again by either party against one another in a civil lawsuit.

"Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees, expenses, and costs," the terse and pro forma stipulation reads — a quick end to the long and, for Lindell at least, financially burdensome litigation.

The underlying legal matter began in February 2021 when the voting company sued MyPillow and Lindell for $1.3 billion after the stalwart Donald Trump ally repeatedly accused Dominion and Smartmatic, another voting company, of rigging the 2020 presidential election.

Did the voting machine company by Dominion? Or did they buy MyPillow? Or did the pillow guy but Dominion?

(snip)

In October 2025, former Republican election official Scott Leiendecker bought Dominion and rebranded it as Liberty Vote.

The new owner described the acquisition as "a bold and historic move to transform and improve election integrity in America" but essentially said the company would be going forward as usual — with no changes in staff, contracts, or products planned in the immediate future.

I kinda remember when that happened but forgot what the company had been re-branded to be.

But it's usually down at the county level to decide what they will use as long as it's certified.

For example here in PA, one of the reddest and most rural counties - Fulton - used Dominion Systems and then proceeded to defy state court orders to stop bringing in 3rd party fraudsters from Wake TSI to "audit" their machines.

So it appears that Dominion was already being used by red areas.

money does a "former election official' save up doing that job? I would think that Dominion sold for tens to hund=reds of millions of dollars, right?
