But, this movie simply isn't the slam dunk D'Souza claims it is, and the criticisms of it are valid.
It's not meant to serve as proof..it's designed to inform the public to get them to pressure lawmakers to investigate it further. You know, the people that can do something about this.
Why do you continue to think this is a court proceeding?
If he did satisfy your requirement for proof, what would you want/expect to happen next?
Why not make the strongest possible case, thereby making it easier to pressure lawmakers?
This "they could have made a stronger case, but they chose not to do so because [waves hands] reasons" is silly.
You know what would make it really easy to pressure lawmakers?
A five minute video showing a "day in the life of a mule", with a credentialed presenter at a digital white board showing a map, the cell phone tracking, the NGOs, and video of the same individual making multiple drops. All time-synced. "Here is ironclad, irrefutable proof of what happened. And we have evidence this occurred at scale."
A 90-minute meandering preach-to-the-choir film that costs $30 to watch and has some glaring evidentiary gaps is far less effective. It's also a great way to look like a grift and not be taken seriously.
Again, I think the theory is true. I do think large-scale ballot-trafficking occurred in urban areas of swing states. But this presentation is absolute sheet and guarantees that it will remain on the fringe.
