Mike Lindell, now registered to vote, blames state for report that he was not

Summary by The Minneapolis Editorial Desk · Based on reporting from Star Tribune · July 23, 2026 · 1 min read

After registering Monday, the MyPillow CEO and Republican candidate for governor questioned Minnesota’s election system, though state officials stand by their records.

Why this matters in The Minneapolis

The MyPillow CEO's recent registration to vote in Minnesota comes as he continues his bid for governor, raising questions about the state's voter registration process. As a prominent figure in the state's Republican party, Mike Lindell's actions will likely be closely watched by voters and officials alike. His criticism of the state's election system may resonate with some voters who have concerns about the integrity of Minnesota's elections. However, state officials' confidence in their records suggests that the issue may be more related to individual registration status rather than a systemic problem. As the gubernatorial race heats up, Lindell's voter registration status will be just one aspect of his campaign to be scrutinized by the public and the media. The outcome of his candidacy will depend on his ability to connect with voters on key issues, including election integrity and governance.
