"The Parties have agreed to a confidential settlement to this matter."
Dominion Voting Systems has dropped its 2020 election lawsuit against Mike Lindell, with a settlement being reached between the parties.
The brief document filed on Monday read, "Plaintiffs Liberty Vote Holdings Inc., Liberty Vote USA Inc., and Dominion Voting Systems Corporation ('Plaintiffs') and Defendants My Pillow, Inc. and Michael J Lindell ('Defendants'), by and through their respective undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate and agree, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii), to the dismissal of all claims and causes of action asserted in this matter by Plaintiffs against Defendants with prejudice. Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees, expenses, and costs."
A spokesperson for Liberty Vote, which bought Dominion in October, said on Tuesday, "The Parties have agreed to a confidential settlement to this matter."
Dominion sued Lindell for $1.3 billion in February of 2021, alleging defamation over claims from the MyPillow founder that the voting company had rigged the 2020 presidential election.
The complaint had read, "He is well aware of the independent audits and paper ballot recounts conclusively disproving the Big Lie. But Lindell—a talented salesman and former professional card counter—sells the lie to this day because the lie sells pillows."
In October, former GOP election official Scott Leiendecker bought Dominion, rebranding it to Liberty Vote. Leiendecker said at the time, "Liberty Vote signals a new chapter for American elections — one where trust is rebuilt from the ground up." A representative for the company said that it would conduct a "top-down" review of Dominion’s equipment ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, and that the company would "rebuild or retire" machines as needed.
