A group of Republican lawmakers is demanding the Committee on Oversight and Reform investigate the “extremely troubling” election fraud allegations made in the documentary “2000 Mules.”
“The film documents activities that raise serious questions about potential widespread coordinated efforts to illegally harvest and cast votes,” Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) states in a letter sent to Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) on Wednesday, which was provided exclusively to Townhall.
Reps. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Mary Miller (R-IL), Debbie Lesko (R-AZ), Randy Weber (R-TX), Pete Sessions (R-TX), Byron Donalds (R-FL), Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC), Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN), and Lauren Boebert (R-CO) co-signed the letter.
In the documentary, filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza uses video and geolocation data to allegedly expose widespread fraud “sufficient to change the overall outcome” of the 2020 election, according to a description of "2000 Mules."
“The film reveals that in the Detroit area more than 500 individuals visited an average of 100 drop boxes to deposit ballots,” Biggs writes. “In the Milwaukee area, more than 100 individuals visited an average of 28 drop boxes. In the Philadelphia area, more than 1,100 individuals visited approximately 50 drop boxes each. And in the Phoenix area, more than 200 individuals visited more than 20 boxes each. Additionally, the film reveals that more than 54,000 individuals delivered votes to at least five drop boxes each in these four states.”
The Republicans note that the Committee has held hearings on a wide array of topics of lesser importance, so the potential illegal activity exposed in “2000 Mules” warrants an investigation.
"Under your leadership, the Committee has held hearings on the Arizona election audit and Texas’ voting laws," the letter continues. "The Committee has also devoted significant time and resources on hearings and investigations into issues such as flea and tick collars, the Washington Commanders football team, electric vehicles for the Postal Service, environmental justice, and vaping among other topics. The illegal activity exposed in the documentary 2000 Mules is far more serious than the aforementioned topics and must be investigated by the Committee."
While former Trump administration Attorney General Bill Barr wasn't convinced by the film, 77 percent of likely U.S. voters who saw the documentary said it strengthened their belief that widespread fraud occurred in the 2020 election, according to a Rasmussen Reports survey.
“As the chairwoman of the House's oversight committee, Congresswoman Maloney has an obligation to hold an immediate hearing to further determine the veracity of these claims," Biggs told Townhall. "The film exposes serious, potentially illegal activity related to the 2020 election. The committee should investigate these allegations to ensure the integrity of our elections."
There is absolutely no way the Democrats are going to look into their own crimes.
Same thing for the Bush League Republicans who assisted with the Big Steal.
Georgia has had the evidence and done nothing with it.
GA’s Gov., Lt. Gov., AG, SOS are all GOP and they were all in on it.
Same with the AZ AG.
They’re right, but have no ability to do anything.
The Democrats ignore videos of Hunter with meth and hookers. And the press lets them.
Pedo Peter is protected.
Maybe at various state levels.
Demand a hearing ?
Form a committee and start investigating. It will be a long wait for the left to give permission .
One big problem is that I don’t see an obvious Federal oversight role here. The conspiracy to harvest and cast votes would have been illegal under the laws of those states, but that doesn’t mean there is any reason for Congress or the Federal courts to be involved.
Just do it! I agree, enough being 'polite'.
There’s nothing “honorable” about democrats. This will not see the light of day.
It’s a start. This issue needs to keep being pounded on. They literally stole a national election.
"Well, Duh..."
“The conspiracy to harvest and cast votes would have been illegal under the laws of those states, but that doesn’t mean there is any reason for Congress or the Federal courts to be involved.”
Ah, but there is. The federal government has full authority to investigate civil rights abuses, and defrauding people of their voting rights is a well established area that falls under that federal authority. For every fake ballot that was cast, one legitimate voter was defrauded of their voting rights.
My 2 cents: these a-holes are just making noise because November is just around the corner. Time to start acting like they care about something to hopefully garnish votes from naive voters.
“For every fake ballot that was cast, one legitimate voter was defrauded of their voting rights.”
Interesting take. And never, not once mentioned.
Well if NGOs aka non-profits are involved and someone had to pay that $10/ballot, that makes it more of a federal issue. Donations to a non-profit going to election fraud. Don’t know if RICO fits.
IIRC, in 2,000 mules, they talk about mules who crossed state lines.
Bill Barr CLEARLY did not even watch it.
If he did, and still thinks it shows no ‘evidence’, then his entire legal career is suspect.
Next year maybe.
That’s what made the 2020 election theft so effective. It’s pretty much impossible to prove election fraud with mail-in ballots unless someone openly brags about it.
I expect this to be leading story tonight on the network news! (/s)
