2000 Mules is a controversial documentary film that investigates allegations of voter fraud during the 2020 United States presidential election. Directed by conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza, 2000 Mules claims to have evidence of illegal ballot harvesting during the election, accusing left-wing organizations of coordinating schemes to submit fraudulent ballots.
