TL/DR –
The documentary “2000 Mules,” which claimed to have evidence of 2000 ballot “mules” stuffing drop boxes in five key battleground states during the 2020 election, has been revealed as a scam. The group behind the documentary, True the Vote, has admitted to a Georgia judge that it does not have evidence to support its claims. The group had previously refused to hand over any evidence to the Arizona Attorney General’s Office in 2022, despite promises to do so.
“2000 Mules” Documentary Debunked: No Evidence of 2020 Election Fraud
The “2000 Mules” documentary alleging widespread voter fraud in key battleground states like Arizona has been debunked. The film claimed to have evidence of “mules” illegally stuffing ballot drop boxes during the 2020 election. However, True the Vote, the organization behind the documentary, recently admitted in court that it has no evidence to support these claims.
Arizona Republicans Promoted “2000 Mules”
When the documentary was released in May 2022, many Arizona Republicans endorsed it. The Arizona Legislature even held a hearing inviting Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips, the people behind True the Vote, to present their findings. Notably, U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs demanded a congressional hearing on the allegations made in “2000 Mules”.
Kari Lake, a prominent Arizona Republican, attended the film’s premiere at Mar-a-Lago and heavily promoted the documentary on her social media platforms.
No Evidence Found to Support Fraud Claims
Despite the hype, the documentary’s claims have been largely debunked. The Arizona Attorney General’s Office requested the evidence in 2022, but True the Vote failed to provide any. Subsequently, the AG’s Office asked the FBI and IRS to investigate the group.
Georgia officials also demanded evidence from True the Vote, taking the case to court. However, True the Vote’s attorneys recently admitted that they have no documents to support their claims.
Fallout from the Debunked Documentary
Now, Arizona Republicans who supported the film, like Mark Finchem and Kari Lake, are yet to respond to the court’s findings. Despite the lack of evidence, concerns about voter fraud continue to influence legislation and voter perceptions in Arizona.
