With almost all votes counted, Demuth was more than 45,000 votes ahead of Lindell, who had the backing of Donald Trump, beating him by 43.4% to 32.5%.

Businessman Kendall Qualls, backed by the Republican state party, was trailing in third.

Told by a reporter on his own streaming channel, LindellTV, that the AP had declared the race over, Lindell dismissed the wire service outright. Asked why he wouldn’t accept the call, he questioned the AP’s authority to determine the outcome and insisted hundreds of thousands of votes remained uncounted.

“I’m not going to give up this race until the votes are counted,” Lindell said. “That’s nonsense.”

    It’s pathetic that this is the new normal for one of the major parties. Acting like deranged toddlers and leaning heavily on a bullshit reason whenever their fee-fees get hurt by the fact that most people don’t want them in a position of power.

    Aside from your toxic, brain-damaged cult members, everyone fucking hates you Lindell!!! Grab a fucking clue and go back full time to making shit sleeping products!
