MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a US businessman who has repeatedly claimed that the 2020 election was stolen, says charts he shared online are evidence of voter fraud and election-rigging via voting machines in the 2022 midterms. This is an unproven conspiracy theory; there is no evidence that the upticks in vote tallies he has highlighted show anything other than the normal reporting of preliminary results.
"They are currently stealing Herschel Walkers race with the machines! We are watching everything with Cyber Experts through the EdisonReport at the Real Time Crime Desk," Lindell says in a November 8, 2022 post, which shows a line graph tracking vote counts in the US Senate race in Georgia.
The charts about races in Georgia, Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota were introduced by Jeff O'Donnell, a self-described data analyst who goes by "The Lone Raccoon" online, during an election-night livestream that Lindell marketed as an expose of "real-time crime" in the US midterms.
Lindell later posted screenshots of the charts on Truth Social, Telegram, Instagram and Facebook, where they circulated widely. The charts also generated stories on conspiracy-oriented websites including InfoWars, and O'Donnell uploaded interactive versions to his website, magaraccoon.com.

This charade is one big infomercial for his failing company.
Which is why I keep wondering who is paying for this nonsense?.
Lindell was never all that wealthy. And, his revenues have dipped below the level that allows principal pay down. (His debt:equity was 5 before overall corporate value shrunk.)
There's dark money paying for this circus and I'd like to know who it is.
