From NPR.

FBI agents searched an elections office in Georgia yesterday. One local Georgia official who was inside the Fulton County office yesterday says FBI agents were seizing ballots from the 2020 presidential election. Georgia has been at the center of President Trump’s claims that that election was stolen from him. He repeated the lie this morning in a post online.

The FBI wouldn’t answer NPR’s questions about the search of the Fulton County elections warehouse outside of Atlanta. But Georgia’s most populous county has been the subject of baseless claims of election fraud since 2020.

Last month, the Justice Department filed a lawsuit seeking to gain access to Fulton County’s ballots, and a state court judge recently allowed the Republican-majority state election board to move forward with a subpoena for 2020 documents. This as the DOJ has sued 25 states, including Georgia, seeking access to unredacted copies of their voter rolls.
