Attorneys for voting software company Smartmatic are looking to speed up a case against Minnesota-based pillow magnate Mike Lindell and his once-highly profitable bedding company, MyPillow, according to a motion filed in federal court on Thursday morning.

In the case, the underlying lawsuit was filed by Dominion Voting Systems, accusing Lindell and MyPillow of slander over false claims about the 2020 election. Lindell later sued both voting companies for alleged racketeering (RICO) violations, among other claims, and lost. Smartmatic, in turn, moved for sanctions, in the form of substantial legal fees, over what they termed the “frivolous lawsuit.”

Along the way, several additional claimants, counter-claimants, defendants, and plaintiffs have filed motions in no fewer than eight related cases. In other words, the procedural posture of the matter has become increasingly complex, complicated, and a bit unwieldy.

Now, Smartmatic aims to cut through some of the red tape.
