b'It\\u2019s easy to make fun of Donald Trump\\u2019s brain vomit unleashed on CNN Wednesday.\\xa0 But one of his Big Fibs is seriously threatening the 2024 election.\\nTrump said: \\u201cIf you look at True the Vote, they found millions of votes on camera, on government cameras, where they were stuffing ballot boxes. \\u2026 Look at what happened in Atlanta, millions of votes, and all you have to do is take a look at government cameras. You will see them, people going to 28 different voting booths to vote, to put in seven ballots apiece. I mean, and they\\u2019re all on camera.\\u201d\\nThe Palast Investigative team took on this very claim in our film Vigilante: Georgia\\u2019s Vote Suppression Hitman.\\nTrump\\u2019s claim of one guy stuffing ballots into \\u201c28 voting booths\\u201d (he meant, absentee ballot dropboxes) comes, as he says, from the Texas group of self-proclaimed vote fraud vigilantes True the Vote, producers of the film 2000 Mules, premiered by Trump at Mar-a-Lago.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nIn 2000 Mules, as sinister music plays, we see a Black man get out of his car, approach a ballot drop box\\u2014and put in his vote.\\xa0\\nYes, it\\u2019s all on camera Mr. Ex-President.\\xa0 It\\u2019s a lot of shots of Black men\\u2026voting, putting their ballots in the box.\\xa0 One of them, Mark Andrews, an Atlanta tech exec., who was hunted down by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation because of the Trump/True the Vote claim, has now sued True the Vote for defamation\\u2014and they have not denied he was falsely accused.\\xa0 (Andrews had placed his ballot in the box along with his wife\\u2019s and three adult kids\\u2019 ballots.)\\nIt\\u2019s very satisfying to say, as the CNN pundits do, that Trump is lying, that this ballot-box stuffing claim by True the Vote has been \\u201cde-bunked.\\u201d But what preening pundits leave out is that Trump\\u2019s claims have been astonishingly effective in changing laws to coldly block Black voting.\\xa0\\n\\u25b6\\ufe0f Get the full story at GregPalast.com'
