Fulton County to file motion after FBI seizes election ballots

Fulton County plans to challenge the FBI’s recent seizure of 2020 election records, which included hundreds of boxes of ballots and voter rolls, following a search warrant executed on January 28. Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr. stated the county attorney will contest the warrant’s scope and execution, asserting that the FBI improperly took original ballots without proper chain-of-custody documentation. The county aims to keep the records sealed in Georgia while ensuring sensitive voter information is protected. This federal investigation relates to potential violations of election laws, prompting criticism from local leaders and questions about revisiting the audited election.
