#2000Mules: A more accurate name for the film would be “2000 Mailmen” or “2000 Dog Walkers”. I went to several drops-boxes in Georgia while I was covering the 2020 election, so according to D’Souza’s cellphone ping “evidence” I could be one of the mules. gregpalast.com/2000-mules-bel…
#2000Mule is slick. Real slick. With an air of science & hard statistics. They use “geo-tracking”, buying (as anyone can) “pings” from cellphones in 5 cities. D’Souza shows a satellite in space & the damning evidence — photos of Black men casting ballots. gregpalast.com/2000-mules-bel…
They say (but don’t show us) that these Black men, inexplicably, went to drop boxes “on average 23 times”. That’s pretty damning, if true...
But it’s not true.
But it’s not true.
The commercial (non law-enforcement) geo-tracking data True the Vote bought can only identify a phone moving within 30 meters (93 feet) of a location. That is, if someone is jogging by a couple of drop boxes, although they are on the other side of a highway, they are “mules.”
D’Souza shows dramatic fluorescent lines on a computer showing the path of two “mules” who go by several drop-boxes. Case closed! Guilty! Who would go by the same boxes day after day? Maybe they aren’t “mules.” In fact, a more accurate name for the film would be “2000 Mailmen”.
