FBI Raids Fulton County Elections Warehouse Seeking 2020 Ballots
Officials from the FBI raided the Fulton County elections warehouse Wednesday.
A court order signed by Magistrate Judge Catherine M. Salinas authorized agents to seize all physical ballots from the 2020 election in Fulton County, all ballot images and Fulton County’s 2020 voter rolls. A copy of the order was given to the Recorder by a House lawmaker.
“We are aware of the ongoing law enforcement activity involving the FBI at the Fulton County warehouse,” said Cae’Lenthya Moore, the executive assistant to Fulton County Clerk Ché Alexander. “At this time, we are only aware of activities involving the warehouse location.”
The Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center is located in Union City, just south of Atlanta. The county, which is home to much of the city of Atlanta, was also at the center Trump’s baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen in Georgia and other swing states.
Fulton County was also where Trump was indicted in 2023 following his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
Fulton County Elections Board Chair Sherri Allen told reporters that “Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections has always, and will continue to maintain fair, transparent and accurate elections.”
“We have fully complied,” she added. “We will always comply with law enforcement and with the rule of law.”
Fulton County Commission Chair Robb Pitts said he has not been told where the ballots will be taken upon leaving the warehouse, and that he can no longer guarantee they will remain safe and secure. Audits of the 2020 election in Fulton County, he added, have repeatedly been found to be accurate.
“That election has been reviewed, it’s been audited, and in every case, every instance, we get a clean bill of health,” he said.
Meanwhile Bondi said she's a wee bit delivering the 99% that remains to be delivered from the Epstein file, as required by Congress nearly 6 weeks ago. She's short on resources, she says.
But I'm sure this is what MAGA wanted.
