- MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell criticized Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders for not supporting a ban on electronic voting machines, claiming it undermines election integrity. His remarks highlight a growing debate over paper ballots and voting systems in both red and blue states.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (TDR) — MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has publicly criticized Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders for her refusal to ban electronic voting machines, claiming her stance undermines election transparency. Lindell, a vocal proponent of election reform, expressed his concerns during a Wednesday appearance on his Lindell TV network, igniting a broader discussion about election policies across red and blue states.
Lindell Takes Aim at Voting Machines and Ranked Choice Voting
Lindell blamed voting machines and ranked choice voting for recent election outcomes, including a New York City primary result. “Everyone’s worried about that New York mayor that got in, that Democrat,” Lindell said, adding, “That’s ranked choice voting plus computers. It’s like, if you have one or the other, it doesn’t matter, you’re stealing elections.”
The CEO’s claims highlight ongoing tensions between election reform advocates and state leaders. In Arkansas, Sanders has not supported the shift to paper ballots, which Lindell views as essential for election integrity. “Sarah Huckabee Sanders is not on board for paper ballots from what I’m understanding in the state of Arkansas,” said reporter Cara Castronuova, echoing Lindell’s frustrations.

Despite Arkansas being a Republican stronghold, Lindell suggested that some red states are dragging their feet on election reforms. “Why would this be going on in red states with this great governor?” he questioned, referring to Sanders’ stance. He also pointed to South Dakota under Gov. Kristi Noem, where efforts to implement paper ballots were reportedly blocked. “It’s not just blue states that are blocking,” Lindell noted. “We’ve actually made as much progress in blue states probably as red states, and it’s disgusting.”
Lindell’s remarks come amid a broader national debate over voting systems, with advocates like him pushing for paper ballots to prevent alleged voter fraud. Critics, however, argue there is no substantial evidence to support claims that electronic voting machines contribute to election tampering.
Election Integrity Debate Grows Nationwide
While Arkansas has not indicated plans to abandon electronic voting machines, Lindell’s criticisms add to the growing discourse on election systems. As both red and blue states grapple with election integrity concerns, the debate underscores differing visions for the future of voting in America.
Election security remains a key issue for voters nationwide. Should states prioritize paper ballots, or are concerns over electronic systems overstated? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
