Dominion’s $1.3 Billion Lawsuit Against Mike Lindell Dropped — And a Historic Evidence Dossier Drops With It
Liberty Vote dismissed all claims with prejudice as Patrick Colbeck’s Election Crime Bureau releases 800+ pages of compiled 2020 election findings.
The voting hardware and software company formerly known as Dominion Voting Systems has ended its yearslong legal battle with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. On Monday, in a four-page motion filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., Liberty Vote Holdings, Inc. and MyPillow, Inc. — along with the extant Dominion subsidiary and Lindell himself — agreed to dismiss all claims and causes of action with prejudice, meaning neither party can bring the same allegations against the other again in civil court. Each side will bear its own legal fees — ending a case that once carried a $1.3 billion price tag.
The case began in February 2021 when Dominion sued MyPillow and Lindell for defamation over his repeated claims that its machines had been used to rig the 2020 presidential election. Lindell countersued and lost on those counterclaims. The litigation proved financially devastating — by October 2023, his attorneys sought to withdraw citing millions in unpaid fees, and the court formally allowed them to exit in August 2024. The path to dismissal came through an ownership change: in October 2025, former Republican election official Scott Leiendecker purchased Dominion and rebranded it as Liberty Vote, making the acquisition contingent on dropping remaining lawsuits against conservatives including Lindell, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News Network. By that point, Fox News had already paid nearly $800 million to settle its own Dominion defamation suit, with Newsmax settling for $67 million.
Released alongside news of the dismissal, Patrick Colbeck’s Election Crime Bureau — operating under Lindell’s organization — has published what it describes as a historic evidence dossier on the 2020 election titled “The 2020 Election – An Attack Upon U.S. Critical Infrastructure.” The report spans more than 800 pages, contains 824 findings backed by 2,517 citations drawn from court records, sworn testimony, government documents, and technical forensics, and details ten alleged attack vectors involving voting systems, election records, certification processes, information control, and foreign interference. Colbeck describes the compilation as five years of assembled research. “People have been told for years there is ‘no evidence,’” the report states. “This report does not ask you to trust us. It asks you to read the evidence, check the citations, and decide for yourself.” Lindell called it “like a library — a historical library with 100% evidence that backs each thing up.”
Lindell is not entirely free of legal exposure. Smartmatic — a separate voting technology company drawn into the original litigation — is not a party to this week’s dismissal and has informed the court that Lindell has accumulated over $36,000 in new contempt fines since April, bringing his running total to more than $92,000. Smartmatic is pressing the court to increase those penalties further.
