2000 Mules

So what are they telling us? The Arizona woman doesn't actually say that anything criminal happened. Ballot transport there was legal until recently and no dates are mentioned, go figure. The camera videos are nothing even though the speaker says it's all suspicious. He says the geo tracking is suspicious too but they never follow up with anybody real. Just suspicion, suspicion, suspicion without proof. And lots of drama acting. What they said about them solving murders turns out to be a lie. I think it's all a lie.

The supposed "geolocation" data is absolutely crucial to the film's claims.

But the idea that it could locate anyone at a drop box is ridiculous. Best case accuracy is 16', in an open field. The phone in your hand shows you a little better is because it joins in the processing - not the case for any of the film's data. In fact they only claimed 100' accuracy when they sent info to the Georgia authorities. Totally useless.

No supposed mule's phone is ever shown to be near any box.

The "geolocation analyst" is Gregg Phillips, who has no credentials or expertise in that field. He refuses to divulge his method as a "trade secret". He called journalists questioning him on it "terrorists". His claims of using a university supercomputer appear to be false. He promised to release his data but at the ballyhooed "Ripcord" event said... he had lost it all.

So all he actually has are his statements (i.e. Nothing) and the dummy video display mock-ups.

Phillips is notorious for simply claiming that millions of illegals had voted in 2016. No proof ever. Trump set up a task force to investigate this. It silently shut down 6 months later having found none. So... a massive falsehood on the public stage.

Why on earth would anyone believe Phillips about this now? Just because... you want to?

ATLANTA (AP) - The publisher of "2000 Mules" issued a statement Friday apologizing to a Georgia man who was shown in the film and falsely accused of ballot fraud during the 2020 election.

The widely debunked film includes surveillance video showing Mark Andrews, his face blurred, putting five ballots in a drop box in Lawrenceville, an Atlanta suburb, as a voiceover by conservative pundit and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza says: "What you are seeing is a crime. These are fraudulent votes."

Salem Media Group said in the statement that it has "removed the film from Salem's platforms, and there will be no future distribution of the film or the book by Salem."

"It was never our intent that the publication of the 2000 Mules film and book would harm Mr. Andrews. We apologize for the hurt the inclusion of Mr. Andrews' image in the movie, book, and promotional materials have caused Mr. Andrews and his family," the statement said.

A state investigation found that Andrews was dropping off ballots for himself, his wife and their three adult children, who all lived at the same address. That is legal in Georgia, and an investigator said there was no evidence of wrongdoing by Andrews.

The film uses research from True the Vote, a Texas-based nonprofit, and suggests that ballot "mules" aligned with Democrats were paid to illegally collect and deliver ballots in Georgia and four other closely watched states. An Associated Press analysis found that it is based on faulty assumptions, anonymous accounts and improper analysis of cellphone location data.

Salem said it "relied on representations by Dinesh D'Souza and True the Vote, Inc. ("TTV") that the individuals depicted in the videos provided to us by TTV, including Mr. Andrews, illegally deposited ballots."

Lawyers for D'Souza and True the Vote did not immediately respond to emails Friday afternoon seeking comment on Salem's statement.

Andrews filed a federal lawsuit in October 2022 against D'Souza, True the Vote and Salem. The case is ongoing, and representatives for Salem and for Andrews' legal team did not immediately respond to emails asking whether the statement came as a result of the lawsuit.

The information presented in this film is most likely not supporting the claim of wide spread election fraud. Several aspects may not be false/fake but are interpreted in an incorrect manner. It may be true that someone visits locations of ballet boxes multiple times or drops several ballets at once. It does not prove election fraud (see available fact checking) the data has simply been (ab)used to build a conspiracy.

And neither did most folks rating it 10 stars. They couldn't have. Because from the get-go it's an ultra-biased hack job that just makes up a story as it goes along, and never proves a bit of it. The surveillance vids of drop boxes just show ordinary people dropping off a ballot. That's all. The hooded guy sneaking around with a backpack and no timestamps on his video is obviously a fake. And all the cellphone data we hear about is never shown. Except for demo screens that flash by which it turns out have wrong drop box locations, and with one in Russia for chrissake. Then there's how the zillion ballots they've dreamed up for their imaginary mules must have come from 501c3 organizations like nursing homes. Sure, 400 thousand seniors voted for Biden. As if. Oh wait they were tricked into doing it? So why haven't we heard about that? It's all beyond belief, and the actors pretending to believe it act like puppets. Which I guess they are.
