On Wednesday, FBI agents executed a search warrant at Fulton County's elections office in Georgia, targeting records related to the 2020 presidential election. The warrant included specific items to be seized, signaling a serious investigation.
• The search warrant was authorized by federal magistrate judge Catherine Salinas and focused on obtaining "all physical ballots from the 2020 general election," along with associated records like ballot images and voter rolls.
• The warrant was issued based on an affidavit establishing probable cause for the search, suggesting that the seized materials could serve as evidence in a criminal offense.
• Fulton County Commissioner Mo Ivory expressed concern about the search, stating it was "all wrong," and indicated plans to create a legal strategy against the investigation.
• Ivory claimed the FBI collected around 700 boxes of ballots and related documents, fearing this would hinder election integrity and voter access for upcoming elections.
• FBI Director Kash Patel mentioned the warrant was obtained following an investigation that met judicial standards and emphasized that the FBI will analyze the seized material for further legal steps.
This investigation into Fulton County's election records is ongoing, with significant implications for the integrity of the electoral process. Updates will follow as new information emerges.
