True the Vote refused multiple requests from the attorney general’s office to provide evidence or data supporting the ballot-harvesting allegations it made in its debunked “2000 Mules” movie.
Context: The nonprofit organization and conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza caused a stir among supporters of the false claims surrounding the 2020 election.
Their movie claimed to use cell phone geolocation data to track people whom it alleged were illegally paid to deliver ballots to drop boxes in five states, including Arizona….
State of play: According to email correspondence the AG’s office provided to Axios, they made four requests to True the Vote for a hard drive and other supposed evidence that the group claimed it had.
In a March 28 report, which the AG’s office provided to Axios this week, True the Vote claimed it had provided state and federal law enforcement with testimonials from people involved in ballot harvesting in Arizona. Anderson said the AG’s office has received no such testimonials.
“We have continually asked for information that has not been provided,” Ryan Anderson, a spokesperson for the AG’s office, said.
