US EditionNAACP Asks Judge to Protect Against 'Misuse' of Voter Data Seized by FBI in Georgia's Fulton County
NAACP and allies seek court orders to restrict FBI use of voter data seized during criminal probe to protect privacy and voting rights in Fulton County, Georgia.
- On January 28, federal agents executed a raid at Fulton County, Georgia's election facilities, seizing about 700 boxes of ballots and records in a probe overseen by Tulsi Gabbard.
- Fulton County officials say the Department of Justice affidavit omitted exculpatory facts, relied on a referral from Kurt Olsen, former Trump campaign attorney, and described routine election errors rather than criminal acts.
- Elections expert Ryan Macias testified the affidavit contains `gross mischaracterizations` and cites absence of scanned images for all 527,925 ballots despite prior state probes, while the filing notes minor recount differences deemed non-determinative.
- Fulton County seeks immediate return of seized ballots, voter rolls, digital ballot images, and tabulator tapes, alleging the warrant was an unconstitutional Fourth Amendment violation.
- The federal investigation continues into the 2020 election, with Democrats criticizing the Department of Justice for targeting Fulton County, Georgia, amid claims of a potential conspiracy.
