Yahoo News reports:
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell released a copy of his long-promised Supreme Court complaint to overturn the 2020 presidential election, though it had not actually been filed and it listed the plaintiff as “[insert your state].” The pillow magnate turned conspiracy theorist has vowed again and again that he would file an election fraud complaint directly to the Supreme Court that would somehow reinstate Trump.
He had predicted this fantastical reinstatement would take place in August, then September and then by the end of the year. Earlier this month, Lindell claimed that he had “tons” of state attorneys general signing on to the complaint, though he refused to name any. He said all of them would sign the complaint together on Nov. 23 before its 9 a.m. filing with the court.

Pillow magnate Mike Lindell has posted a copy of his long-promised election-overturning Supreme Court complaint on his website and it’s missing a few things you commonly find in lawsuits, such as a plaintiff and lawyers. pic.twitter.com/BmWaqyFVfa

The claim seems to rely on an Electors Clause theory that the Supreme Court declined to hear last year and a state standing argument that it rejected when Texas sued. And until [insert Your State] agrees to file, the court wouldn’t have jurisdiction anyway.

Lindell’s complaint appears to have been written by the same lawyer who drafted Texas’ failed Supreme Court election-overturning lawsuit. pic.twitter.com/nJFaZSlFco

It claims that President Biden acted unconstitutionally by not fixing problems in the 2020 election, which 1) isn’t something the president can do; and 2) he wasn’t the president then. pic.twitter.com/3fO7UUDHqx

Anyway, I read Lindell’s complaint. tl;dr:
* This is not an actual lawsuit
* The court already said it wouldn’t hear this stuff
* It’s a huge grab-bag of conspiracies, most of which have been known to be false for an entire year now
* An actual lawyer wrote thisCaveat emptor.

This morning, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell trolled Fox News with a pathetic rally. The rally was so poorly attended that the pillow tycoon at one point attempted to get The Daily Beast to dispatch a DC-based reporter to cover the event. w/ @SollenbergerRC https://t.co/mTPDpQ45vB
