Mike Lindell is now probing Trump's 25 point win in Alabama

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, an avid supporter of former President Donald Trump, has repeatedly claimed the 2020 presidential election was rife with fraud.

But the latest place he is looking for fraud is an odd choice: Alabama, a state Trump won by 25 points and where Democrats do not control a single statewide office. Lindell's plans in the state were detailed by Al.com on Friday.

"MyPillow founder and Donald Trump adviser Mike Lindell plans to conduct "tests" on Alabama's voter rolls after purchasing the list, said Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill, who along with Gov. Kay Ivey met with Lindell on Friday," reported Howard Koplowitz. "Lindell, the founder and CEO of MyPillow who is Trump's main attack dog in the former president's battle contending the 2020 presidential election was stolen, is going to comb through the list of Alabama voters to determine whether the state has any ineligible people on it, including deceased residents."

"Lindell, who set up the meeting with Merrill after attending Trump's 'Save America' rally in Cullman in late August, heaped praise on Alabama's election procedures, ranging from the state's voter ID law to how votes are tabulated in the state, according to Merrill," noted the report.

I used to work for a labor union and we were able to buy voter rolls to do voter targeting. Pretty sure they are public information in most states.

Or why they would even care about a state Trump won by an overwhelming majority?

There are a few different options for what info is provided. The most detailed provicdes:

Voter name, address, phone, birth year, voter ID, registration date, county, MCD, precinct, school district code, other district codes, detailed voting history (election date, election description, and voting method - does not indicate who you voted for, that info is not stored).

To the information the Republicans got from Fakebook, and you got a pretty good idea of where your voters are, where the opposition voters are, how often they vote, and maybe what issues motivate them.

TFG won the state so why investigations? Who paid for the voters list? I thought he was being sued by Dominion for a ton of money..aren’t lawyers expensive? Any ideas?

and spend all his time doing his Trump stuff.

Plus who would want to buy any of his things - they might be made by unvaved workers who might contaminate their product.
