A film opening in hundreds of theaters across the United States this week uses a flawed analysis of cellphone location data and ballot drop box surveillance footage to cast doubt on the results of the 2020 presidential election nearly 18 months after it ended.
Praised by former President Donald Trump as exposing “great election fraud,” the movie, called “2000 Mules,” paints an ominous picture suggesting Democrat-aligned ballot “mules” were supposedly paid to illegally collect and drop off ballots in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
But that’s based on faulty assumptions, anonymous accounts and improper analysis of cellphone location data, which is not precise enough to confirm that somebody deposited a ballot into a drop box, according to experts.
The movie was produced by conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza and uses research from the Texas-based nonprofit True the Vote, which has spent months lobbying states to use its findings to change voting laws. Neither responded to a request for comment.
Here’s a closer look at the facts.
CLAIM: At least 2,000 “mules” were paid to illegally collect ballots and deliver them to drop boxes in key swing states ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
THE FACTS: True the Vote didn’t prove this. The finding is based on false assumptions about the precision of cellphone tracking data and the reasons that someone might drop off multiple ballots, according to experts.
“Ballot harvesting” is a pejorative term for dropping off completed ballots for people besides yourself. The practice is legal in several states but largely illegal in the states True the Vote focused on, with some exceptions for family, household members and people with disabilities.

“Fact checking”?
From our media?
Bwahahahahahahahahahah!
The movie was compelling. These were not isolated pings.
Every last person charged for what happened on January 6 should Subpoena this clown as an expert witness, since the Feds used the exact same data and techniques, Hell start filing Appeals, This Expert Witness can FREER YOU and Reverse your conviction
I’m surprised they even mentioned the movie at all. The abortion draft leak was meant to wipe all mention of this movie away.
Post a response to this article. I didn’t see the doc.
fact “checking” is not fact “proving”
I can do a brake check but that doesn’t mean they will work.
If it’s legal for the libs, it’s legal for us. Where are our mules? Get to the nursing home first, come away with the ballots.
THEY HAVE THEM ON VIDEO DOING IT
So we’ll just conveniently ignore the security videos that track with the cellphone data, as well as the the information provided by a self-admitted mule True the Vote has secured as a whistleblower.
Wishing I could see it on the Computer because I can not get out to the movies....any suggestions??
“…according to experts.”
Well, that settles it.
The phone location data matches up with the people filmed dropping the ballots. They also went to liberal organizations as part of their journey. Not likely they were getting Republican ballots. Just great get out the vote drives? Then why multiple drops in the dead of the night?
Fact checking to the left is a hockey play. They slam the fact into the boards, try to knock out a few teeth and slash it with their Michael Mann brand hockey stick.
Fact-checking The Mercury News, the lefty rag purportomg to be a newspaper.
It's “misinformation” or “propaganda” if they disagree.
Words like misinformation are really meaningless.
You can't really define and apply any consistant definition that an overwhelming majority could agree on over any period of time. It's a moving goalpost dependent on ones own perspectives (values), geographic location and time.
Fact-checking:
The process of inventing and disseminating plausible lies about facts contrary to shared group consensus in order to prevent group members from reconsidering their assumptions.

Me or your lying eyes?
