Fulton County, Georgia, plans to file a motion challenging the seizure of 2020 election records by the FBI during a search of the county's elections office last week. The legal action was announced Monday by Fulton County Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr., following the execution of a federal search warrant on January 28 at the Fulton County Elections Hub and Operations Center in Union City.
According to Arrington, the FBI seized hundreds of boxes containing ballots, voter rolls, ballot images, and other election records related to the 2020 presidential election. "I have asked the county attorney to take any and all steps available to fight this criminal search warrant," Arrington said in a statement, questioning the warrant's legitimacy.
Arrington, who is also an attorney, stated that the county intends to challenge both the scope of the warrant and the manner in which it was executed. He claimed that while the FBI had a separate court order authorizing them to copy election records, they instead took physical custody of original ballots, including in-person, absentee, and provisional ballots, along with voter rolls. "They got copies of our voter rolls and all the original ballots," Arrington stated.
The specific reasons for the FBI's search and seizure have not been publicly disclosed. However, such actions involving election records are typically related to investigations into potential election fraud or irregularities. It is important to note that the seizure of these records does not necessarily indicate any wrongdoing.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners oversees elections in the county, which is the most populous in Georgia and a Democratic stronghold. The 2020 election results in Fulton County, like those in other parts of the state, have been the subject of intense scrutiny and numerous unsubstantiated claims of widespread fraud. Multiple recounts and audits have affirmed the accuracy of the original count.
The motion to challenge the search warrant is expected to be filed in the coming days. The legal challenge will likely focus on whether the warrant was overly broad and whether the FBI exceeded its authority in seizing original ballots instead of simply copying them. The outcome of this legal challenge could have implications for the ongoing debate surrounding election security and the handling of election records.
