After Joe Biden beat Donald Trump to become the nation's 46th president, the Department of Homeland Security declared that the 2020 election was "the most secure in American history." But conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza is likely to set off a new firestorm with a documentary using video he says was obtained through open-records requests that allegedly shows "mules" stuffing ballot boxes.
D'Souza tells Newsweek his point isn't to convince moviegoers that the presidential election that Joe Biden won and Donald Trump lost ought to be overturned, only that the reflexive claim that there were no major irregularities is untrue.
The movie is made in conjunction with True the Vote, a Texas organization that bills itself as an anti-voter fraud group.
"There is no way to know who the votes were cast for. But what we do know is the claim that 2020 was 'the most secure election ever' is false," says Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote.
Mules are described in the movie as paid or unpaid operatives who, in 2020, put ballots in multiple drop boxes that had been set up to make it more convenient for voters in the midst of the COVID pandemic.
Many entities have debunked the notion of widespread fraud, including an Associated Press investigation last year that found only 475 potential instances of cheating. Also, a New York Times project where reporters spoke to election officials in every state concluded last year that "there was no evidence that fraud played a role in the outcome of the presidential race;" a USA Today investigation in late 2020 concluded accusations of wrongdoing were "unfounded" or "overblown;" the Brennan Center for Justice noted that "the nation's top intelligence and law enforcement agencies" called the 2020 election "secure," and the list goes on.
