FBI Raid Of Fulton County Over Election Data Came After Long Fight

Amid continuing disputes, the Georgia board asked the U.S. Department of Justice for assistance in July 2025 “to effect compliance with voting transparency.” Attorney General Pam Bondi later issued a letter demanding that Fulton County turn over all documents responsive to the state subpoenas. Federal officials ultimately filed a civil rights complaint in December 2025, and a judge cleared the way for the state board to obtain records.

On Jan. 28, the FBI executed a court-authorized search warrant at the Fulton County Election Hub and Operations Center in Union City, removing materials tied to the 2020 election as federal agents pursued the records amid the long-running dispute.
