Justice Department Files Lawsuit Against Fulton County for Election Records

The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Fulton County, Georgia, seeking records from the 2020 election, including ballot stubs and signature envelopes, as part of an investigation into compliance with federal election law. The suit follows a previous unanswered request for documents made to the Fulton County clerk. Former President Trump has repeatedly claimed he won the election, including in Georgia, where he and 18 others were indicted for attempting to overturn the results. The Fulton County clerk’s office declined to comment on the pending litigation.
