Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow and a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, has expressed his desire to oversee U.S. elections if Trump is reelected. Lindell made these comments

When asked about the possibility of being Trump's running mate for the 2024 election, Lindell clarified that he had not been approached for the role. However, he revealed his aspirations for a different position, stating, "if he asks me to do anything, I'm hoping it's when we get this, when he gets in, that he puts me in charge of our elections and where we can get our election platforms completely fixed."

Lindell proposed integrating his self-styled "Election Crime Bureau" into the Department of Homeland Security.

Lindell stated, "in the last three years, I've lived and breathed it. I know what we need to have secure elections, and I really think I could do a great job of getting this country to a great place."

This statement follows Lindell's previous claim that he had received divine inspiration for a plan to "deputize" Trump voters to prevent alleged election fraud,

Speaking at the Turning Point USA People's Convention in Detroit, Lindell claimed he would "deputize" Trump voters as part of what he described as "God's plan" for Trump's victory on Election Day. The pillow magnate and known election denier outlined a strategy that he believes will "confuse all the electronic people" involved in the voting process.

Lindell's proposed approach involves encouraging voters to request early voting ballots but not use them, instead taking them to polling sites on Election Day. If told they have already voted, Lindell suggested voters should take their unused ballots outside, photograph them, and send the images to what he calls the Election Crimes Bureau, also known as the
Lindell Offense Fund website
. Lindell claimed this will provide "new evidence" to support Trump's campaign.
