The Minnesota Supreme Court issued a ruling on Saturday that formally rejects a request from MyPillow founder Mike Lindell to recount the results of the state's gubernatorial primary election. Lindell, who lost the primary by an 11-point margin, had challenged the outcome, alleging irregularities in the process.

In a six-page opinion authored by Chief Justice Natalie E. Hudson, the court concluded that Lindell’s legal arguments were insufficient. The ruling explicitly stated that the "claim fails on the merits," effectively putting an end to his efforts to contest the election results through the judicial system. The decision confirms the original tally of the primary, which saw Lindell defeated by a significant margin. Lindell has been a vocal critic of election processes in recent years, and this legal challenge was an attempt to force a review of the primary vote count. With this ruling, the state's election results remain unchanged, and no further recount will be conducted.
