Liberty Vote, the company formerly known as Dominion Voting Systems, has settled a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO and Republican candidate for Minnesota governor, according to a federal court filing in Washington, D.C. on June 23, 2026. The parties reached a confidential settlement agreement that marks the end of a five-year legal battle rooted in Lindell’s false claims about the 2020 election.
Dominion Voting Systems originally filed the defamation lawsuit against Lindell in 2021, claiming he knowingly promoted conspiracy theories that the company rigged the election for Joe Biden. The company also alleged that Lindell used the false claims to boost MyPillow sales and raise his political profile.
In October 2025, Dominion was acquired by Liberty Vote, a St. Louis-based company founded and run by Scott Leiendecker, a former Republican election official who previously served as an election director. The acquisition brought the company under new ownership amid ongoing legal challenges stemming from the 2020 election disputes.
According to the settlement agreement filed this week, both Liberty Vote and Lindell will bear their own attorney’s fees and costs. The motion to dismiss was filed with prejudice, meaning neither party can refile the same claims. A Liberty Vote spokesperson confirmed the arrangement in a statement: “The parties have agreed to a confidential settlement in this matter.”
