Pillow magnate Mike Lindell said that he had been vindicated after a Georgia ruling noted that the plaintiffs concerned about election security weren't conspiracy theorists and the trial could move forward.
At issue was an opinion by a judge appointed by former President Barack Obama, who explained that there was reason to believe that there were security issues related to voting machines. Part of her conclusion was based on the Coffee County incident in which Republicans got into the building holding the machines, broke into them, and stole data.
At no point does Mike Lindell's name appear anywhere in the court filing, nor does it say he was "vindicated."
The plaintiffs at issue include the Coalition for Good Governance, which has sued Georgia several times over elections. Their lawsuit explicitly cites Cathy Latham, the Republican Party chair for Coffee County, Georgia, during the 2020 election. However, the lawsuit began years ago, the Associated Press reported. It was renewed after the election, and ultimately, Latham became part of the complaint of election insecurity.
Republican campaign lawyers breaking into a county facility led to questions about the security of electronic voting in Georgia, but not Lindell's conspiracy theories.
The case will move forward, but Latham and others are also part of the racketeering case in Fulton County over the attempt to overthrow the 2020 election in the state.
Lindell celebrated that he could officially take off his tinfoil hat.
