Fulton County Seeks Return of 2020 Election Documents Seized by FBI
Georgia's Fulton County has filed a motion in federal court to retrieve ballots and other documents from the 2020 election that were seized by the FBI. The seizure occurred at a warehouse near Atlanta, and the county is also requesting the unsealing of a law enforcement agent's sworn statement that was used to obtain the search warrant. The FBI's search targeted records related to the 2020 election, including ballots, tabulator tapes, electronic ballot images, and voter rolls. County officials, including Chairman Robb Pitts, have expressed confusion over the federal government's intentions with the seized documents. The move comes amid ongoing claims by President Trump and his allies of election fraud in Fulton County, despite these claims being debunked.
