“2,000 Mules” by Dinesh D’Souza was all lies
The final repudiation of ‘2000 Mules’
“This is not the first time that True the Vote has been caught flat-footed. Officials in Arizona recommended that the group be investigated by the FBI and IRS (given its tax-exempt status) for failing to provide evidence it claimed to have about ballot-stuffing in that state. True the Vote itself promised for months that it would release its data publicly to validate the claims made in “2000 Mules.” It never did.”
Project Veritas is to ‘documentaries’ as D’Souza is to ‘history’ and Tom Fitton is to ‘law’.

Where did The Big Lie come from?
Trump paid me to find voter fraud. Then he lied after I found 2020 election wasn’t stolen.
“The cries that the 2020 election was lost or stolen due to voter fraud continue with no sign of stopping. But if voter fraud had impacted the 2020 election, it would already have been proven.”

This is bad:
Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign hired a research firm to probe the results for election fraud but found no evidence, with the findings kept away from the public: WaPo
- “The Trump campaign commissioned a firm to probe the 2020 election, but researchers came up empty, per The WaPo.
- Roughly a dozen people at the Berkeley Research Group were part of a team analyzing Trump’s claims.
- The research didn’t deliver what the Trump campaign sought and the findings were kept undisclosed.”
“”They looked at everything: change of addresses, illegal immigrants, ballot harvesting, people voting twice, machines being tampered with, ballots that were sent to vacant addresses that were returned and voted,” said an individual familiar with the research who spoke with The Post.
“Literally anything you could think of. Voter turnout anomalies, date of birth anomalies, whether dead people voted. If there was anything under the sun that could be thought of, they looked at it,” the individual added.
According to four individuals who spoke with the newspaper, the findings were not what Trump officials were expecting from the analysis.”
Trump campaign staff on 2020 election lies: ‘fan the flame’
“MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A newly released audio recording offers a behind-the-scenes look at how former President Donald Trump’s campaign team in a pivotal battleground state knew they had been outflanked by Democrats in the 2020 presidential election. But even as they acknowledged defeat, they pivoted to allegations of widespread fraud that were ultimately debunked — repeatedly — by elections officials and the courts.”

60 Percent Of Americans Will Have An Election Denier On The Ballot This Fall
Mark Finchem just got caught telling a whopper and his response is … totally on brand
But then, Finchem doesn’t deal in reality. His entire campaign is contingent upon selling the Big Lie and never mind the whoppers with which he litters the campaign trail as he asks Arizona voters to put him in charge of elections.
Consider his comment in the recent secretary of state’s debate.
“I don’t care for mail-in voting,” he said. “That’s why I go to the polls.”
Except … he doesn’t. Or at least, he hasn’t.
The Arizona Republic’s Mary Jo Pitzl reported in April that Finchem has voted via early ballot in almost every election since 2004.
Meanwhile, journalist Dillon Rosenblatt, who writes a newsletter called FourthEstate48, reported on Wednesday that Finchem has cast an early ballot in 28 of the last 30 elections. Since 2004, Rosenblatt reports that Finchem has automatically received and voted by in every election but two – the 2007 Tucson city election and the August 2022 primary.
That’s quite a record for someone who doesn’t care for early voting.”

Inside the campaign to undermine Georgia’s election
Rand Paul Inadvertently Tells The Truth About Republican Voter Fraud Claims
““How to steal an election,” Paul tweeted Monday night, before quoting an article from The American Conservative. “‘Seeding an area heavy with potential Democratic votes with as many absentee ballots as possible, targeting and convincing potential voters to complete them in a legally valid way, and then harvesting and counting the results.’””
The clear and present danger of Trump’s enduring ‘Big Lie’
“According to a CNN poll conducted this summer, fully 36% of Americans do not believe that President Biden legitimately won the election. Among Republicans, that number leaps to 78%.
In an NPR/PBS Newshour/Marist poll conducted in October, just 34% of Republicans say they trust that elections are fair, while 75% of Republicans say Trump has a legitimate claim that there were “real cases of fraud that changed the results.” Just 2% of Democrats agreed with that statement.
What’s more, says Timothy Snyder, “the ‘big lie’ is not just in people’s minds. It’s also now in the law books.”
Snyder points to the raft of new laws passed in Republican-led states that restrict voting. Over the past year, at least 19 states have passed laws limiting ballot access.
In addition, Trump loyalists in battleground states are running for powerful offices that control elections. These are candidates who are endorsed by Trump, because they’ve embraced his lie that he won the 2020 election.
And some Republican-controlled state legislatures have moved to seize power over elections, opening a path where they could overrule voters and substitute their own slate of electors to choose the winner.
All of it, Snyder says, is a direct outcome of Trump’s “big lie” and is deeply troubling for the future.”

Wisconsin and 1/1/1918?
Why does the statewide voter registration database include multiple voters with birth dates of 1/1/1900 and registration dates of 1/1/1918?
- “Default dates of birth and voter registration dates in the WisVote database is not a newly discovered issue or an indication of voter fraud. This information has been in the State Voter Registration System (SVRS) and WisVote system since at least 2006 and is the result of data migration from over 200 different legacy voter registration systems maintained by individual municipalities that in 2005 were moved into the comprehensive statewide system.
- Individuals and advocacy groups reporting that a 1/1/1900 date of birth or a 1/1/1918 registration date for a voter in WisVote is a sign of fraud, hacking or some other irregularity that impacted an election are unfortunately contributing to misinformation about Wisconsin elections, based on a lack of understanding of how SVRS and WisVote came into existence more than 15 years ago.“

Notes Show Trump Pressed The Justice Department To Declare The 2020 Election Corrupt
“In a telephone call in late December, then-President Donald Trump pressured senior Justice Department officials to declare the 2020 election “corrupt” in an effort to help him and his Republican allies in Congress try to overturn the outcome, according to documents provided to a House committee.
It was previously known that Trump publicly and privately pushed the Justice Department to investigate his baseless claims that the election was stolen, but the new documents — nine pages of contemporaneous notes from a Dec. 27 phone call between Trump, then-acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and then-acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue — provide new insights into those efforts.
The notes, which were taken by Donoghue, show Trump raising his now-familiar falsehoods about rampant voter fraud in Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
“We have an obligation to tell people that this was an illegal, corrupt election,” Trump is quoted as saying.
On the call, Rosen, who took over at the Justice Department after Attorney General William Barr resigned, and Donoghue push back. They tell Trump “the DOJ can’t and won’t snap its fingers and change the outcome of the election, doesn’t work that way,” the notes say.
Trump responds: “Don’t expect you to do that, just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me and the R Congressmen.”
Trump does not specify which congressmen, but at other points in the call, he mentions three Republican lawmakers by name: Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, whom he refers to as a “fighter”; Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania; and Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who Trump says “has done a great job getting to bottom of things.””
