Election conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell claims he's going to stop voting fraud by flying drones near polling places to determine whether voting machines are connected to the Internet.
Lindell, the My Pillow CEO who helped finance Donald Trump's baseless election protests, "demonstrated" the technology at an event he hosted in Missouri this week (see video). Lindell's innovation appears to be a wireless sniffing device mounted on a drone, apparently attached with velcro.
"This was the lie that's been told to every person in our country... these electronic voting machines-from routers to printers to polling books-they're not online. Well, what if I told you there was a device that's been made for the first time in history that can tell you that that machine was online?"
