Experts say these poll workers could sow distrust in democracy and bolster court cases challenging the election. ProPublica and Wisconsin Watch reviewed dozens of hours of trainings and presentations in which activists discussed their plans.

"When Dinesh D’Souza’s movie 2,000 Mules arrived on the scene in 2022, it was an immediate MAGA smash—a 'masterpiece of meeting market demand,' as WaPo’s Philip Bump put it earlier this year. ...
Now its distributors are retracting it."

"The movie’s claims were immediately debunked as so patently absurd that even Fox News wouldn’t cover them. That did not stop Trump from airing the film at Mar-a-Lago and touting it as proof that he’d rightfully won the presidency in 2020. And in his bid to keep his bar license in DC, Rudy Giuliani even cited the movie as evidence that his election fraud claims were true. (Spoiler Alert: LOL.)"

"The producer of the Dinesh D’Souza 2020 election conspiracy film '2,000 Mules' will cease its distribution and remove it from its platforms apparently as part of a settlement of a defamation lawsuit brought by a Georgia man whom the film falsely depicts as illegally voting."
~ David Kurtz
Because the film's a pack of lies, and given the chance to defend those lies, True the Vote ran and hid.

We all knew this, of course but #TrueTheVote had *nothing* - no evidence of voter fraud whatsoever.
Yet #Trump harped on about them so much, ~40% of America *to this day* believes that there was voter fraud in the 2020 election.
We have internalised the maxim "there's no smoke without fire" and it's utter bollocks. I never want to hear that phrase again.
A conservative group that claimed to uncover a ballot stuffing scheme in Georgia has told a judge it has no evidence to back up its allegations. Texas-based group True the Vote said in a complaint filed with Georgia's secretary of state that it had spoken to several people with knowledge of coordinated efforts to collect and deposit ballots in drop boxes during 2020 and 2021 elections. The group's claims were heavily cited in the widely debunked film “2000 Mules.” Georgia officials got a judge to order the group to identify its sources and provide other documentation. The group's attorneys said in a December court filing that it had no names or documents to back up its allegations.
