and I think there was only one person (so far) who did sue (the one mentioned in the article) because although all supposedly had their faces blurred out so they were supposedly unidentifiable, the guy who sued apparently recognized himself.

After the Georgia Bureau of Investigation exonerated Andrews of any illegal activity, finding that he was legally dropping off ballots for members of his family, Andrews filed a defamation lawsuit against D’Souza, True the Vote and Salem Media, the publisher of 2000 Mules. In his lawsuit, Andrews alleged that the baseless claims made in the film led to violent threats against him and his family.

Settling its end of the defamation suit, Salem Media apologized to Andrews in May of this year and halted distribution of D’Souza’s film and book on all of its platforms. In its statement, the conservative media company said it “relied on representations made to us by Dinesh D’Souza and True the Vote.”

Apparently the judge dismissed some counts against D'Souzxa, True The Vote, and Salem but kept others and Andrews was supposed to file an additional complaint.
