Minnesota Governor Candidate Mike Lindell Isn't Registered to Vote in the State
Lindell said Minnesota allows Election Day registration and that his Texas voter status will not affect his governor campaign.
- On Wednesday, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell officially entered the Minnesota gubernatorial race, securing an endorsement from President Donald Trump despite lacking an active voter registration in the state.
- Lindell moved to Texas in 2024 after marrying his wife, Kendra, maintaining voter registration there while returning to Minnesota last fall to meet the one-year residency requirement.
- The Minnesota Secretary of State's office said Lindell "does not have an active record," while he faces mounting financial pressures including $2.3 million in defamation damages from past litigation.
- Lindell faces two main primary rivals: Kendall Qualls and Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth. He dismissed critics saying "Mike Lindell can't win," focusing instead on party skepticism.
- Although Minnesota allows registration on Election Day, Lindell cannot legally cast a ballot for himself in the August 11 primary. He is running on addressing "rampant fraud" and state affordability.
