The claims appear in a new pro-Trump film called 2,000 Mules".

This was debunked at the time, as Biden was actually referring to safeguarding the vote, later adding, "What is trying to do is discourage people from voting by implying that their vote won't be counted, it can't be counted, we're going to challenge it and all these things." After replying, "Republicans are doing everything they can to make it harder for people to vote, especially people of color to vote," Biden added, "we have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics."

The film presented a single unverified anonymous witness who said she saw people picking up what she "assumed" were payments for ballot collection in Arizona no evidence of payments was presented in any of the other four states.
