The public and other individuals should not have to pay for the costs of this election fraud nonsense which has no evidence nor any basis in fact. If it did, they would have shown some.
(oh, but Mike Lindell . . . yeah, right.)

The defendants who were wrongfully sued can petition the court for an Order of Replevin. (Google that phrase.) (remembering back to Groklaw daze here.)
The U.S. Marshal can come and seize whatever property is necessary to ensure the judgement is paid. If it comes to that, it would be fun to watch these clowns get raided. Not only do they make false claims of election fraud without any evidence or basis in fact, but they also think they are above the law and not subject to court judgements. If that happens, I want a front row seat.

If they really don't want to pay up, it is easier to just serve every bank, investment firm, credit union, etc. you can think of to garnish their debts owed to the loser so they have to give them to the winners instead.

Doing what you suggest as well as an Order of Replevin are not mutually exclusive options.
Somehow, I think the US justice system has figured out how to collect judgements from rich deadbeats.

They are. Replevin isn't what you think it is.
