There's a remarkable number of things going on in the country and the media, so you could be forgiven if you didn't know that voting machine company Dominion is sending cease and desist letters to everybody who intimated that their machines were involved in a conspiracy to swing the election for Joe Biden.

One of the recipients of a cease and desist letter was MyPillow CEO and avowed Donald Trump loyalist, Mike Lindell. Lindell's response was unwavering. He told Axios: "I want Dominion to put up their lawsuit because we have 100% evidence that China and other countries used their machines to steal the election."

Lindell has a lot to lose. In 2018, The Hollywood Reporter estimated that his net worth was $300 million. Considering that his profile, as well as the broader stock market, has grown a lot since then, he could be worth a half a billion dollars or more now.

In December, Ben Smith of the New York Times forecasted the "red slime" lawsuits could threaten dire financial consequences for right-wing media organizations like Fox News, OAN, and Newsmax brought by Dominion and another voting machine company called Smartmatic.

Dominion has already sued pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell in a suit seeking $1.3 billion in damages. An employee of Dominion has also sued Donald Trump, OAN, and Newsmax.

Not everyone has responded with the bring-it-on nature of Lindell. The publication American Thinker ran the following statement in response to a letter from Dominion's defamation attorneys:

American Thinker and contributors Andrea Widburg, R.D. Wedge, Brian Tomlinson, and Peggy Ryan have published pieces on www.AmericanThinker.com that falsely accuse US Dominion Inc., Dominion Voting Systems, Inc., and Dominion Voting Systems Corporation (collectively “Dominion”) of conspiring to steal the November 2020 election from Donald Trump. These pieces rely on discredited sources who have peddled debunked theories about Dominion’s supposed ties to Venezuela, fraud on Dominion’s machines that resulted in massive vote switching or weighted votes, and other claims falsely stating that there is credible evidence that Dominion acted fraudulently.
