Federal agents executed a search warrant at the Fulton County elections office on Wednesday, removing 700 boxes of 2020 presidential election ballots as part of a Justice Department investigation into alleged voter fraud claims.
Federal Investigation Intensifies
FBI agents descended on the Fulton County Election Hub and Operations Center with trucks to transport the seized materials to the FBI Central Records Complex in Virginia. County Commissioner Mo Ivory confirmed the warrant targeted all Fulton County ballots from the 2020 election. The search represents an escalation in the Justice Department’s effort to examine election records from the county that includes Atlanta.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and FBI Deputy Director Andrew Bailey personally observed the operation. A senior administration official stated Gabbard plays a crucial role in election security and protecting voting system integrity. The Justice Department previously filed suit against Fulton County officials to compel the release of 2020 election records, with no judicial ruling yet issued.
County Officials Express Security Concerns
Fulton County Commission Chairman Robb Pitts voiced concerns about ballot security once federal custody began. He told reporters the ballots remained safe and secure under county control at their facility. However, Pitts acknowledged he could no longer guarantee ballot security to Atlanta citizens or the broader public now that federal agents have assumed possession of the election materials.

What This Means
The federal seizure marks a significant development in ongoing election integrity investigations. Fulton County, with its largely non-white voter base that supported Biden in 2020, became a focal point of post-election scrutiny. Georgia previously conducted a risk-limiting audit of its 2020 presidential election results, which affirmed Biden’s victory in the state. The current investigation represents the Trump administration’s renewed effort to examine election processes and materials from the contentious 2020 race.
They got caught. They don’t like it when scrutinized.
Fulton County Georgia is dirty and got caught with their hands in the election cookie jar! The politicians are crying! BOO-HOO!
what’s 700 ballots gonna prove? Remember, there were people caught red handed voting for Trump twice, not just in one State that he lost, but in States that he won. but no one seems to talk about that.
You are just STILL crying about the fact that Trump lost in Georgia by over 11,000 votes.
I wonder how many people voted twice in Georgia, but they had to throw out the mail in ballots because the walk in vote was already counted.
Don’t fall for yet another Trump lie. He’s notorious for lying. It’s in his DNA.
They got caught with their fraudulent hand in the “cookie jar” and the politicians are crying! BOO-HOO!
op one got caught doing anything other than Trump, he should be locked up.. Remember, he was found guilty of 34 felony counts by a Jury.
Check Newton County GA also. They were still throwing out bad ballets months after the elections. 10s of thousands. Wife worked with republican party then. It was amazing how crooked GA politics are.#FTW
Here’s what a lot of people seem to forget. Trump told his supporters to vote twice. Once by mail and once by walk in.. well, if they could one before the other, then the second ballot gets tossed. It’s actually a FELONY to vote twice. what Trump’s probably going to try to do is say they threw out lots of ballots for him, yet not tell you that they were double votes. And the people that voted twice should actually be in prison for election fraud.
Also, isn’t it a felony for Trump to tell people to commit a felony by telling them to do so? Free Speech doesn’t protect someone when they instruct people to commit a crime.
And there were people that were arrested in many different States for voting twice and they did vote for Trump and some of the States Trump won.
Just because they seized ballots doesn’t mean anything. They have to look at them and figure out if there are any double votes. Trump was telling his supporters to vote twice.
