Appeals court hands Mike Lindell win in fight over $5M election fraud contest
UNITED STATES, JUL 23 – The 8th Circuit ruled the arbitration panel exceeded its authority by misinterpreting contest rules, reversing a $5 million award to Robert Zeidman in the election data dispute.
- On Wednesday, July 23, the 8th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals reversed a lower court's ruling, barring additional review of Lindell's $5 million award case.
- In 2021, Lindell held a South Dakota symposium launching the 'Prove Mike Wrong Challenge', but arbitrators later overstepped by forcing payment, U.S. Circuit Judge James Loken wrote.

- Amid ongoing lawsuits, Lindell separately faces hefty judgments over his discredited 2020 election claims and maintains he holds digital files showing alleged Chinese interference.
