True the Vote attempted to corroborate its premise with surveillance video of drop boxes obtained from public sources, which the group contends provides visual proof of the conspiracy. But notably, none of the video footage used in the movie shows any individual depositing ballots at multiple drop boxes — a shortcoming D’Souza attributes to the fact that many jurisdictions did not capture surveillance video of drop boxes as required by law, or that in many cases the video was too grainy to definitively identify people.

We are, however, shown numerous surveillance videos of people placing multiple ballots into a drop box — which the film claims is direct evidence of crime. But in at least three cases so far, Georgia investigators say the video actually shows people legally dropping off ballots for eligible voters who are immediate family members living in their home.

In a Sept. 30, 2021, letter to True the Vote and the state Republican Party, D. Victor Reynolds, director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, said the data collected by the group — and provided to law enforcement officials — “while curious, does not rise to the level of probable cause that a crime has been committed.”

Update, Feb. 16, 2024: In July 2023, the State Election Board in Georgia sued True the Vote and eventually got a court order in November compelling the group to provide its evidence of a massive ballot-stuffing scheme, including the identity and contact information of people TTV claimed had knowledge of such a scheme.

In a December response first reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Feb. 14, True the Vote failed to provide any information on those individuals. The group’s lawyers for True the Vote stated, “TTV does not have in its possession, custody, or control such identity and contact information.” Neither was True the Vote able to produce confidentiality agreements it had “previously said existed,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.

“True the Vote made wild and false allegations as a fundraising grift that undermined public confidence in the integrity of Georgia’s elections,” Mike Hassinger, a spokesman for the Georgia secretary of state, told us via email. “Now that they’ve admitted to their con in court, they owe the voters of Georgia an apology.”
