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.
Wow clearly Heather is running to let Rick control our States elections. If she gets elected I feel sorry for everyone who oversees elections. You all will be answering to Rick not Heather she will be his puppet.
Ms. Monae hated the establishment. So she got the Wieble fellow to help her incite the crazies to oust the establishment and annoint her. Then Ms. Monae became the establishment. So Ms. Baxter got the Wieble fellow to help her incite the crazies to oust the establishment and annoint her. Then Ms. Baxter will become the establishment.
Anybody can throw rocks against the house, until you have to live in the house and conform to federal election law. Then you, too, must conform. Mr. Wieble just stands in the alley throwing rocks.
”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”
Why not? He was involved with the current SOS that wouldn’t answer 2020 election questions during the KELO debate, who now bus ads on your website.
Monae started throwing her useful idiots under the bus as soon as she secured the nomination at the convention, but kept the Weibels on until after the general election.
She would not answer questions about the 2020 election during the campaign, which alarmed many of us, but now we know she was just playing her idiots, and we are okay with that.
At the Pennington County Crackerbarrel, Heather Baxter was the most inarticulate, ill advised individual to come to the microphone. The best she could say is a lot of groups come to the legislature for money! Way undereducated for this position either!!
