Georgia Judge Denies Fulton County's Bid to Return 2020 Ballots Seized by FBI

A federal judge in Georgia denied Fulton County's request to return ballots and other 2020-election materials seized by the FBI, ruling the supporting affidavit had defects (including allegedly misleading statements about the final ballot count and omissions about ballot mechanisms) but not to the degree of ‘callous disregard’; the ruling rejects the county's 10th Amendment and bad-faith arguments and keeps the materials with the government as the case moves forward, noting the seizure was not perfect but must be evaluated under established legal standards.

Georgia County seeks return of more than 650 boxes seized in 2020 election raid

Fulton County, Georgia, asks a federal court to return more than 650 boxes of 2020 election materials seized from its elections office by the FBI under a search warrant, arguing the seizure violated Fourth Amendment rights and should be kept for safekeeping pending the dispute. U.S. District Judge Jean-Paul Boulee will hear the case on Friday after previously denying a quest to compel FBI testimony; the DOJ says the county seeks to disrupt an ongoing federal investigation into election-record maintenance and potential irregularities.
