DOJ can keep 2020 election ballots seized from Georgia's Fulton County, judge rules
"The seizure in this case was certainly not perfect, but he went on to say that Fulton County did not establish that its rights were callously disregarded either through the lack of probable cause, omissions in the Affidavit or by the manner of the execution of the seizure."
"The Justice Department has said it is investigating irregularities that occurred during the 2020 presidential election in the County and identified two laws that might have been violated. One requires election records to be maintained for 22 months, while the other prohibits procuring, casting or tabulating false, fictitious or fraudulent ballots."
"Georgia's votes in the 2020 presidential race were counted three times, including once by hand, and each count affirmed Democrat Joe Biden's win."
A federal judge ruled that the FBI is not required to return 2020 election ballots and materials seized from Fulton County, Georgia's elections hub. The county argued the seizure was improper and unconstitutional, but the judge found no violation of the county's rights through lack of probable cause or improper execution. The Justice Department is investigating alleged irregularities during the 2020 presidential election and potential violations of laws regarding election record maintenance and fraudulent ballots. Georgia's votes were counted three times in 2020, each confirming Joe Biden's victory. The county may appeal the ruling to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
