Editor,
I don't know for sure that election fraud didn't happen. What I do know is:
1. There were 60-70 Federal Judges, mostly GOP appointed, who ruled that there was no credible evidence of election fraud.
2. Our 1st Amendment gives us the right to believe and say whatever we want. Our Judicial System requires that we have credible evidence for it to be ruled as true.
I am sure the movie 2000 mules was an interesting perspective on what could have happened during our 2020 election.
Without having presented it as credible evidence in a court of law, it does not prove election fraud. It is entertainment.

A proper film review for “2000 mules”: TOTALLY BOGUS.
Let’s look at the “evidence” it claims to show:
Geotracking is the main claim of evidence from the film — that cellphone data shows people at drop boxes multiple times. Geotracking is very real, but it’s not very accurate. Most scientific data show cellphone location being accurate to within 43 feet. In a major metropolitan area there are many people with reasons to be close to a drop box area: delivery drivers, poll workers, election officials, passersby. I would have been flagged in Menard just for driving past the courthouse over 10 times. In addition, factcheck.org showed that many drop box locations from the film were not accurate.
In Georgia and 30 other states, a family member or caregiver is legally allowed to drop ballots for their entire family of registered voters. Thus, a large number of ballots can be dropped by one person. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation reviewed this film’s claims and found zero evidence of voter fraud.
After ballots are cast, they are carefully reviewed and audited to verify that the ballot is legal. After 3 audits in Georgia, they found no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
America is a democracy rooted in free and fair elections. I find it far more important to recognize that election officials, the former Vice President, the Attorney General, governors, and many more, have recognized who actually won the election.
Despite what trump and various others detached from reality say: HE LOST. Over 50 cases of election fraud were dismissed by judges for lack of evidence, including by the Supreme Court. Democracy won. It’s 2022. Time to move on. No one should feel disheartened about their vote. The legal votes count. Please keep voting!!
Nothing about this film was an exposé or “in-depth.” It belongs in a 3rd grade science fair. A far better fictional film to watch is “The Mule” starring Clint Eastwood.
