US EditionFulton County Expected to Sue over FBI’s Seizure of 2020 Election Records
Fulton County plans to sue to challenge the seizure of 700 boxes of ballots and election records, citing improper warrant scope and seeking return of materials, officials said.
- On Jan. 28, 2026, FBI agents spent a full day searching the Fulton County Election Hub and Operations Center in Union City, Ga., executing a court-authorized search.
- The dispute began on Nov. 5, 2024, when Georgia's State Election Board issued subpoenas for Fulton County's 2020 materials, prompting DOJ involvement and a March 9, 2026 hearing after a $400,000 cost dispute.
- The search warrant authorized seizure of all physical ballots, tabulator tapes, electronic ballot images, and voter rolls, and agents removed 700 boxes of election materials to the FBI central Records Complex in Virginia.
- Monday, Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr. said Fulton County attorneys will file in the U.S. Northern District of Georgia to challenge the warrant and seek return of original 2020 ballots, citing no chain-of-custody inventory and verification concerns.
- With the scope expanding into a federal criminal inquiry, Gabbard was present during the Fulton County records seizure as officials praised and condemned the raid.
