WASHINGTON — The voting machine company formerly known as Dominion Voting Systems dropped its $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell on Wednesday, according to a court filing.
The company, now called Liberty Vote, and Lindell agreed to dismiss the suit, with each party bearing its own attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs, the filing in U.S. District Court in Washington showed. Details of any settlement remain confidential.
The lawsuit was filed in 2021, accusing Lindell and his company of defamation for promoting claims that Dominion’s machines rigged the 2020 presidential election in favor of Joe Biden. Multiple reviews, audits and court rulings found no evidence of widespread fraud or machine tampering sufficient to alter the election outcome.
The dismissal comes about eight months after the company was purchased by a former Republican election official in October 2025 and renamed Liberty Vote.
In a statement, the company said it had “agreed to a confidential settlement” and dropped the long-running case, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported.
Lindell, a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump, has continued to question the 2020 election results. He did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the dismissal.
The case was one of several high-profile defamation actions stemming from unsubstantiated claims about voting equipment after the 2020 contest. Dominion had also sued Fox News, which reached a settlement in 2023. Lindell has faced other legal challenges related to his statements, including a jury award of more than $2 million in a separate Colorado case involving a former Dominion employee.
The original suit alleged that Lindell’s public assertions, including through documentaries and social media, damaged the company’s reputation and business. Lindell had countersued in related matters, but those were previously dismissed or sanctioned by courts.
As of Thursday, no further details on the terms beyond the dismissal with each side covering its own costs had been disclosed in court records. The case is now closed.
