County spokesperson says warrant seeks number of 2020 election records while FBI declines to give further details
The FBI executed a search warrant at the election office in Fulton county, Georgia, on Wednesday for records related to the 2020 election, according to a spokesperson for the county and the FBI.
The warrant sought all ballots from the 2020 election in Fulton county, tabulator tapes, ballot images and voter rolls, according to a warrant obtained by the Guardian.
Fulton county commissioner Mo Ivory said that the initial warrant was “incorrect legally” and challenged on the scene by county officials. The FBI subsequently obtained a corrected warrant. The county’s clerk of superior court, Che Alexander, is the custodian of the material and was on site at the warehouse inventorying what the FBI was taking, Ivory said.
“The commissioners, the chairman, the county attorney are trying to figure out a legal plan,” Ivory said in an Instagram reel from inside the building as FBI agents worked. “Maybe an injunction, a motion to quash, something. We’re trying to figure it out.”
