True the Vote, the group behind the discredited film 2000 Mules, is gearing up for a new documentary. This time, the focus is on systemic election fraud targeting Black communities in Michigan and beyond. Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, who spoke at Trump’s inauguration, claims to have evidence of fraudulent voting but lacks concrete proof.
The film, titled Trap, aims to rehash similar allegations dismissed by courts. Sewell believes Democrats are manipulating the votes of poor Black people without their knowledge, a claim he cannot substantiate. His system involves scrutinizing voter lists and ballot envelopes, though independent verification is scarce.
Election experts warn that such documentaries could resurface old doubts about election integrity. David Becker from the Center for Election Innovation and Research notes that claims made six years after an intensely scrutinized election are likely unfounded. Yet, these same filmmakers have a history marked by sketchy documentaries, raising more questions than answers.
The release of Trap comes amidst President Trump’s ongoing efforts to influence the midterms. His supporters, including Sewell and Phillips from True the Vote, continue to push baseless claims about election fraud in Black communities—claims that have already been debunked by legal systems.
