Michael J. Lindell v. U.S. Dominion, Inc., et al. Complaint

A legal ‘Complaint‘ is a document filed with a court that functions to initiate a lawsuit and inform the court and the Defendants of Plaintiff’s intent. It offers a summary of ‘facts’ that aim to establish the necessary elements of the claim for relief that a Plaintiff is asserting. These ‘facts’ exist as to allegations against the Defendants, pending supporting evidence that will be brought forth in trial to be considered by the judge and/or jury.

The Complaint filed to start Lindell v. Dominion is more readable than a typical lawsuit in both vocabulary and style. Dystopian quotes are interspersed from George Orwell’s “1984,” E.M. Forster’s “The Machine Stops,” and other famous literature. In it, Plaintiff Lindell alleges that evidence has been suppressed that would show Defendants’ machines were manipulated to affect the November General election results.

Lindell claims that the Defendants’ lawsuits and legal demands against him amount to a weaponization of law or LawFare (Law + Warfare). He says they are essentially government because of their role in elections administration, so it is a violation of his first amendment rights to intimidate and try to silence him.

Part D., “Gaslighting: The REAL Big Lie,” begins by noting that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) had published claims that the 2020 election was the “most secure in American history,” but points out that Dominion is a member of CISA’s Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council, which it says gives them “self-serving influence over CISA’s proclamations.” It notes that Dominion “forced unplanned and unannounced software uploads into its machines” on the night before the 2020 election and that Dominion “publicly denied that any such updates… were made and that its machines were connected to the internet,” calling both statements false.
