A federal judge has ruled that the U. S. government can retain control over the 2020 election ballots seized from Fulton County, Georgia, during an investigation into potential irregularities.
• The ballots were seized by the FBI on January 28 as part of a Justice Department investigation focused on election misconduct in Fulton County.
• District Judge J. P. Boulee dismissed the county's request for the return of the ballots, electronic copies, and other election-related materials, rejecting claims of improper and unconstitutional seizure.
• The Justice Department identified two possible legal violations linked to the management of election records and the casting of fraudulent ballots.
• Joe Biden won the state of Georgia, securing its 16 electoral votes.
The ruling means the federal government will continue to hold the 2020 election ballots while the investigation into potential election irregularities unfolds further. This decision highlights the ongoing scrutiny of the election process in Georgia.
