Dominion Voting Systems has dropped all defamation claims against MyPillow founder Mike Lindell over his statements about the 2020 election.
The case ended after Dominion began operating under new ownership as Liberty Vote Holdings.

The case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning Dominion’s claims against Lindell and MyPillow cannot be brought again in a future lawsuit.
According to a court filing, both sides agreed to the “dismissal of all claims and causes of action … with prejudice.”
The filing also states that each side will cover its own legal costs.
“Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs,” the filing said.
The outcome marks a major turn in a years-long legal battle that began after Lindell publicly challenged the integrity of voting machines and raised concerns about the 2020 presidential election.
Lindell Says He Will Keep Fighting Voting Machine Companies
Dominion previously sued Lindell and MyPillow for $1.3 billion, accusing him of defamation over his claims about the company’s machines and the 2020 election.
Lindell countersued, though he did not obtain the legal success he sought.
The original case continued until Dominion’s new ownership agreed to drop the claims.
“It was a nice gesture,” Lindell said of the dismissal.
“I just want everybody to know it doesn’t mean anything that I’m gonna stop fighting these voting-machine companies.”
Dominion also previously settled claims against former Trump adviser Rudy Giuliani under similar terms, with no payment and no finding of liability.
However, Dominion’s lawsuit against Fox News ended in a $787 million settlement after the company challenged statements made on the network about the 2020 election.

Dominion Sold and Rebranded as Liberty Vote
The dismissal comes after former Republican election official Scott Leiendecker bought Dominion and rebranded it as Liberty Vote.
Leiendecker described the purchase as “a bold and historic move to transform and improve election integrity in America.”
The change in ownership means the company will no longer seek damages from Lindell or his bedding company.
The legal fight stemmed from the aftermath of the 2020 election, when Trump supporters raised alarms over a series of highly controversial voting and counting procedures in key states.
Those concerns included states pausing vote counts on election night while President Donald Trump was leading former President Joe Biden in several critical races.
When counting resumed, large batches of mail-in ballots were counted, often heavily favoring Biden.
Other concerns included videos showing ballot drop-box activity, private funding from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg that was used by election officials, and the FBI’s false framing of Hunter Biden laptop reporting as Russian disinformation before the election.
Dominion machines were used in some of the states where election concerns were raised.
Lindell Report Cites Years of Research
A statement from Lindell TV said investigators had compiled more than 800 pages of testimony and evidence supporting Lindell’s position.
The material reportedly includes “five years of compiled research, court records, sworn testimony, government documents, and technical forensics.”
“People have been told for years there is ‘no evidence’,” the statement said.
“This report does not ask you to trust us.
“It asks you to read the evidence, check the citations, and decide for yourself.”
The dismissal ends Dominion’s legal claims against one of the most prominent public figures who challenged the 2020 election.
For Lindell, the case may be over, but his broader fight against voting machine companies is not.
