2000 Mules Film Voter Fraud

[Sanitarian2]

I don't know about the Georgia specific charges but Trump can EASILY prove that the 2020 election was "unfair/rigged."

Example, some violated state constitutions, some were changes allowed without required approval of state voters/house/senates/governors.

For the general election, at least 30 states plus the District of Columbia have made at least some changes that will make it easier and more accessible for voters to cast their ballots from home. These changes include removing strict excuse requirements or allowing COVID-19 concerns to be a valid excuse to vote absentee, allowing ballot drop boxes, offering prepaid postage on election mail and proactively sending all active registered voters applications to request an absentee ballot -- with some even skipping that step and sending the actual ballots.

The states are: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

The witness requirement was waived for the primary in South Carolina, and a federal judge ruled on Friday that it will not be required for the general election either, citing how severe the pandemic is as the reasoning.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), 17 states pay for postage on election mail, but for the November election, at least five more are doing this as well: Massachusetts, Montana, South Carolina and two battlegrounds -- Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Thanks to legal challenges from voting rights advocates, some states that typically require ballots to be received by polls closing time will accept ballots postmarked by Election Day for the 2020 election.

In Georgia, a federal judge ruled that ballots postmarked by Election Day will count if election officials get them by the third day after the election, but the secretary of state, the Republican National Committee and the Georgia Republican Party are challenging this order in court. The RNC and Georgia GOP are arguing the ruling only applies to 17 counties that were "cherry picked" to be advantageous to Democrats. The judge's order extending the deadline doesn't specifically state it applies statewide, but it does order that those under Raffensperger's "supervision, direction, or control shall accept and count otherwise valid absentee ballots from qualified voters" that meet the postmark requirement and arrive by Nov. 6.

Funny thing is that all this drama could have been avoided if the Dems just allowed real audits and investigations in the swing states when Trump was asking for them.  They fought tooth and nail, and are now trying to bury Trump under the jail.  If the election was so clean then all you had to do was welcome the investigations, but...   here we are almost 3 years later talking about the same crap that...  people other than Trump are bringing to the fore

What did cyber ninjas(a firm with no auditing experience at all) find in their “audit” in Arizona?  

I can’t believe I’m getting sucked back into this nonsense. My fault

A state investigation found that Andrews followed Georgia law when he delivered ballots for his three adult children, his wife and himself. State law allows voters, family members or caregivers of disabled voters to drop off ballots.

‘2000 Mules’ voter fraud movie lands in court in defamation suit
Trump has cited the film as he faces Georgia charges


False accusations of voter fraud smeared an Atlanta-area auditor who was shown in the conspiracy movie “2000 Mules” when he legally delivered five absentee ballots for his family, his lawyers said in federal court Thursday.

A federal judge considered the defamation lawsuit hours before Donald Trump, who has said he would use the movie in his defense against racketeering charges, turned himself in 4 miles away at the Fulton County Jail.

The lawsuit by Mark Andrews says “2000 Mules” damaged his reputation and intimidated him by using a clip from surveillance video as the narrator says: “What you are seeing is a crime. These are fraudulent votes.”

A state investigation found that Andrews followed Georgia law when he delivered ballots for his three adult children, his wife and himself. State law allows voters, family members or caregivers of disabled voters to drop off ballots.

U.S. District Judge Steven Grimberg questioned why it was permissible for the movie to publicly accuse Andrews of breaking the law.

“Mr. Andrews was just voting. He’s not a candidate. He’s not a celebrity,” Grimberg said. “... The narrator didn’t say, ‘I think this is a crime.’ The narrator said, ‘What you’re watching is a crime.’ ”

Attorneys for the defendants, which include conservative moviemaker Dinesh D’Souza and True the Vote, said they were stating an opinion that’s protected by the First Amendment’s freedom of speech protections.

“The film is opinion, based on disclosed facts,” said Joseph Larsen, who represents True the Vote, a Texas-based organization that collaborated on the movie. “The premise of the movie is that you can’t trust the government to begin with.”

The movie blurred Andrews’ face as he deposited his family’s absentee ballots into a drop box in Gwinnett County before the 2020 election, but the lawsuit said he was still identifiable.

Lea Haber Kuck, an attorney for Andrews, said there’s no constitutional protection against defamation by a film that profited from his image without his permission.

“There’s no law that says you can blur someone’s face and do whatever you want,” Kuck said. “He and his wife watched the movie and they were very upset about it and feared for their safety.”

The movie is still available for purchase online, and Andrews’ image was also used in the “2000 Mules” book that was released after the State Election Board cleared him of wrongdoing in May 2022.

Catherine Engelbrecht, the co-founder of True the Vote, attended the hearing along with her colleague Gregg Phillips, both of whom gathered video and information for the movie.

“We were figuring out how we could possibly take a measured look at what was going on with the drop boxes, and we just talked about how do you bring down a cartel?” Engelbrecht said in a video released this week.

The State Election Board recently sued True the Vote over its unwillingness to comply with subpoenas that would support its allegations of the “2000 Mules” ballot collection scheme.

Grimberg, a Trump appointee, said he hopes to rule within 45 days on motions to dismiss by the defendants.

If he rules against the dismissal motions, the case could move forward with gathering evidence and a trial.

They blurred his image and they were afraid that people knew who he was?? Seriously?

The movie blurred Andrews’ face as he deposited his family’s absentee ballots into a drop box in Gwinnett County before the 2020 election, but the lawsuit said he was still identifiable.

By whom?? The person?? So?. If he isn’t identifiable by 99.999% of the people, then he is anonymous.

“I know that shirt”. Really??

Did the guy go to the box multiple times for his family?? Who does that? This ONE guy?
Or was he just in the pic as they said that?

And WAS it a crime in that state based on election laws pre Covid??

Ballot harvesting was illegal in most states pre Covid including in Georgia

Contrary to what you may read on this forum, Georgia put a ton of resources into investigating all claims of voter fraud. My biggest complaint about 2000 mules is that they never once show the same person at a drop box more than once. According to the article, the same is true for this guy who was only dropping off ballots for people in his home. In the state of Georgia that is completely legal. In most states that would be legal.
