The Minnesota political website “Unicorn Riot” has done an expose’ on self-declared “election expert” Rick Weible who isn’t just backing Secretary of State Challenger Heather Baxter against incumbent Secretary of State Monae Johnson as per SD Searchlight…
Weible and his wife, Gretchen, worked on Johnson’s campaign. Gretchen served as her campaign manager. They now work for Baxter’s campaign, they told South Dakota Searchlight during a November 2025 event in Sioux Falls, where they were training people on how to hand-count.
… He also has a role in the campaign of the pillow guy – Mike Lindell – Trying to run for Minnesota Governor. But there’s a lot to unpack that’s useful in either contests
Weible, the former mayor of St. Bonifacius – coincidentally also where Lindell’s campaign is based – and state GOP operative, has been paid $32,000 in the past six months for his role on the campaign, and his company R & G Visions has been paid more than $200,000 for services foreign to computer consultation businesses, like legal services and security.
While Lindell runs a campaign focused heavily on election security – an obvious focus for one of the leading figures of Trump’s 2020 election denial – the campaign committee has doled out hundreds of thousands of dollars that have gone directly into the pockets of the two people running it.
and..
The business is not findable in aggregated corporate records or even the Minnesota Secretary of State’s business filings, but it is easily found through the South Dakota Secretary of State’s office. Determined customers who have thus far refused to take the previous dead ends for an answer will be led to the current Weible residence in a small community outside of Brookings, a single-level country home with a Trump flag flying high in the front lawn on Google Maps.
Could this be the very location Weible broadcasts from while filling in for Lindell on his broadcasts, a cluttered room with piles of this and that behind him accentuated by the odd piece of Trump merchandise, including a poster that directly references the 2020 election fraud claims?
What could a business such as this possibly be providing the Lindell campaign?
Current Secretary of State Monae Johnson became Weible’s enemy #1, when he figured out there was no way she was going to hand him the keys to the kingdom. Now he’s actively pushing an opponent who is fully on board with his agenda.
Not sure I want to see someone who makes claims of election fraud on a “for-profit” basis having anything to do with selecting who the next Secretary of State is.
