The True the Vote investigators utilized cell phone location data and surveillance video to reveal what they claim as a well-organized operation in battleground states conducted by left-wing groups, which gathered mail-in ballots and paid mules to put them in drop boxes – usually in the middle of the night.

The Republican members of the Michigan House of Representatives pressed Attorney General Dana Nessel in a letter "to investigate, and bring charges if credible evidence is found, the Secretary of State of Michigan, members of her office and any organizations or individuals for crimes related to fraud committed in the 2020 election and crimes brought to light in the documentary '2000 Mules.'"

The legislators called for an investigation of Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson for using "4.5 million dollars of CARES funds to recklessly mail absentee ballot applications to all registered voters not on the permanent absentee voter list," mandating "Michigan clerks in October 2020 to presume the accuracy of absentee ballot signatures … in contrast to state law, and not responding to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests by voters and groups like the Michigan Grassroots Alliance related to the voter rolls, Canton Township's voters, and City of Detroit ballots."
