Summary
Minnesota election officials told Mike Lindell a full hand recount and audit of the Aug. 11 GOP gubernatorial primary would cost about $825,000, and he said total spending could top $1 million.
Monday is the deadline to submit a formal recount request with a bond, cash or surety; the secretary of state's office said it had not yet received one as of Wednesday.
Lindell said he has hired his own investigative team and wants county-by-county recount locations confirmed so he can place observers, after alleging unspecified irregularities tied to electronic voting machines.
The recount push extends Lindell's broader campaign against voting systems even as he remains under court pressure in the Smartmatic defamation case, where unpaid sanctions and a $500 daily fine continue to mount.
