Mike Lindell appears in a new political cartoon hugging a large pillow marked voter suppression while wearing a shirt that reads red states. A speech bubble shows him saying it is all they have. The pillow also displays the word gerrymandering with a line through it.

The cartoon was published on January 19, 2022, during a period when several Republican-led states advanced new voting laws and redistricting plans. Lawmakers in states such as Georgia and Texas had passed measures that tightened mail voting rules and added identification requirements. Democrats described the changes as voter suppression while Republicans said they strengthened safeguards.

Redistricting after the 2020 census gave GOP majorities in many states the opportunity to draw new legislative and congressional maps. Critics charged that the maps packed Democratic voters into fewer districts and spread Republican voters across more. The cartoon uses Lindell’s MyPillow brand to link these map-drawing efforts with broader voting access debates.

The visual ties the pillow company executive, who had promoted election claims after 2020, to the ongoing policy fights. It suggests that gerrymandering and new voting rules represent the primary remaining options for Republican state leaders. The image captures the partisan divide over election administration that continued into the 2022 midterm cycle.
