US EditionFulton County Expert Witness Says FBI Affidavit Used to Seize Ballots Had "Incoherent Terminology"
Fulton County demands return of 650+ boxes of 2020 ballots seized in January amid DOJ's probe into alleged election irregularities, with county officials disputing claims of fraud.
- On Friday, a federal judge heard arguments regarding Fulton County's demand for the return of more than 650 boxes of 2020 election materials seized by the FBI during a January 28 search in Union City, Georgia.
- The FBI investigation began following a referral from Kurt Olsen, a White House official tasked with re-examining the 2020 vote, though critics argue the affidavit relies on allegations already debunked in nearly six years of prior investigations.
- Fulton County attorney Abbe Lowell argued the search showed "callous disregard" for constitutional rights, while election technology expert Ryan Macias testified that witnesses cited by the FBI misunderstood election procedures and the evidence "doesn't make sense."
- DOJ attorney Michael Weisbuch rejected the county's claims Friday, stating federal investigators still require the original materials, though U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee has not yet ruled on whether the government must return the ballots.
- Fulton County Commission Chair Robb Pitts warned the seizure represents a "blueprint" for federal interference, saying "if they're successful here, in Fulton County, they will take this show on the road," raising concerns about similar tactics targeting other jurisdictions.
