Judge Denies Fulton County Request to Return FBI-Seized 2020 Ballots
A U.S. federal judge has ruled to deny Fulton County’s request to return 2020 election ballots that were seized by the FBI. The ruling marks the latest development in ongoing 2020 election-related disputes.
The FBI had confiscated the ballots during its investigation into alleged election interference in Georgia. Fulton County officials have made multiple requests to have the ballots returned, all of which have been rejected.
In the ruling, the judge determined that the ballots remain critical evidence in an active federal investigation and should not be returned at this time. This means the ballots will continue to be held by federal authorities until the investigation concludes.
The case involves multiple allegations surrounding Georgia’s 2020 election, including potential interference with election equipment.
