Mike Lindell finally says something I can agree with.

Mike Lindell discourages Republicans from early voting so they can 'overrun the algorithms'

Mike Lindell, the far-right extremist and conspiracy theorist who is also CEO of My Pillow, is continuing his inexplicable battle against Democracy and voting machines by telling fellow Republicans not to vote early in the upcoming midterm elections.

Lindell made his comments while speaking to Steve Bannon, former advisor to ex-President Donald Trump, on Bannon's broadcast on the right-wing media outlet Real America's Voice. Bannon asked Lindell what Republicans could do to ensure that they win the midterm elections and that the elections aren't "stolen" from them. Both Bannon and Lindell have repeatedly pushed Trump's baseless claims that the 2020 election was "stolen" through an unprecedented, nationwide voter fraud conspiracy that hasn't been proved in any courts or publicly exposed in the media.

"Well, the number one thing that everyone should do is vote day of," Lindell said, adding that voters can defy "lying" pollsters by voting only on Election Day. "We can overrun the algorithms. Everybody has to get out and vote — everybody you know — and same day. Don't vote two days early, don't vote one day early, vote same day."

Yep. I think the Rs would really teach everyone a lesson if they just vote on election day.

Just want to make sure this faulty Lindell logic is "perfectly clear" as to why waiting until election day to vote will alter the results. Voting early won't get counted, and voting late gets you double the votes?

and create blocks long lines that hardly move at the few that are still open, and if anyone provides food or water for those online they'll be arrested?

I hope his stupid followers fall for this and don't get to vote at all.

.... election day. The polling locations won't be so crowded and counting the votes will be so much less hectic.

Your vote may not count. But voting the day after election day is so much less stressful for all parties concerned.

You know, the "the system is so corrupt we shouldn't play along" argument.

Republicans need to soak up more of that. Much more.

Idiocy has a price, and in his case, it may not be just a monetary failure. His brown lips are liable to land him in the Graybar Heartbreak Hotel.
