"Mike Lindell has been one of the most vocal proponents of the baseless election conspiracies pushed by Trump in the wake of his loss to Joe Biden in 2020."
"Lindell had claimed without evidence that Smartmatic's voting machines were connected to the internet, hacked by foreign actors, and then reprogrammed to steal votes from Trump and change them to Biden."
"Last year, Smartmatic won a key legal victory when a judge ruled that none of the conspiracy claims Lindell had made against the company were true."
"On March 24, Judge Carl J. Nichols found Lindell in contempt of court for failing to pay the previously-ordered $56,369 in sanctions."
Mike Lindell, known for promoting baseless election conspiracies, was found in contempt of court by Judge Carl J. Nichols for not paying $56,369 in sanctions to Smartmatic. Lindell's claims about Smartmatic's voting machines being hacked and manipulated to alter election results have been debunked by audits and testing. Despite promising evidence, he has not substantiated his allegations. The court previously ruled that his accusations were false and defamatory, leading to the sanctions imposed for his frivolous legal actions.
