My Pillow founder Mike Lindell suffered another court loss on Monday when the Supreme Court refused to hear his appeal related to having his phone seized by the FBI as part of a vote tampering investigation.
Lindell, who is embroiled in multiple lawsuits that have drained his company of cash, had asked the court to take a look at a ruling made last September after he attempted to make the case that his constitutional rights were infringed when he was ordered to hand over his phone while sitting in the drive-thru in a Minnesota Hardee's.
In the earlier ruling that the Supreme Court decided to not review, Judge Ralph Erickson of the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals wrote, “Lindell’s irritation as to where and how the government took possession of his cell phone does not give rise to a constitutional claim, let alone a showing of a callous disregard for his constitutional rights."

According to the report from USA Today, the 2022 phone seizure was related to an investigation into "the sharing of sensitive information from Colorado’s computerized voting systems."
"The FBI had questioned Lindell about Tina Peters, the Mesa County clerk in Colorado who was indicted in 2022 over accusations that she improperly permitted someone to copy access passwords and other files from a secure voting system and post them online, exposing the machines to hackers. Peters has argued the files posted online from the machines she supervised demonstrated flaws in the systems," USA Today's Maureen Groppe reported.
In Lindell's filing, he accused the government of harassing “those who persist in questioning the integrity of computerized voting systems, particularly those used in the 2020 election.”
