But that event has now come and gone with no voting machines of any kind on display. Instead, a readily available commercial scanner was the only device present.

Going back at least as far as May, Lindell has repeatedly promised to show off his voting machines at his South Dakota gathering, assuring Salon that he had "multiple" such devices in his possession, and they would somehow prove that the 2020 election had been stolen from Donald Trump.

"We got the machines, Dominion!" Lindell proudly declared in May, adding that he looked forward to cracking them open. "We got all these machines!"

In July, the pillow king again told Salon, "We've had machines for, I don't know, months now. You realize you can buy them on eBay, right?" Lindell additionally promised the voting machines "absolutely" would be present at his Sioux Falls event this past week.

Yet over the course of the three-day "symposium," no voting machines made by Dominion, Smartmatic, ES&S or any other company ever appeared.

and then the antifa-trained dogs tore them up and the Jewish Space Lasers destroyed what was left. Sorry, no evidence.

Still.

loyally extolling how great the conference is and how they learned so much.

They sounded like they were paid PR hacks-- all the tweets were close in wording.

...why were only 15% of the attendees there on day 3?
We had people there saying they were disappointed & bored.
I think you're right!
Those tweets are fake accounts and those glowing tweets were PR.
