FBI Executes Warrant at Fulton County Election Office Over 2020 Vote
January 28, 2026
On January 28, 2026, the FBI executed a search warrant at Fulton County's Elections Hub in Union City, Georgia, seeking all physical ballots, ballot images, tabulator tapes and voter rolls from the 2020 presidential election; an evidence retrieval team loaded roughly 700 boxes of ballots into waiting trucks. The warrant cites potential violations of election record retention and election official fraud statutes. This follows Fulton County's December 2025 admission that tabulator tapes weren't properly signed and some documents were misplaced. The search comes as FBI Director Kash Patel pursues investigations aligned with Trump's claims about the 2020 election. It was carried out without advance notice to Fulton County officials or to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who called it a waste of time and tax dollars. Georgia's senators condemned the search, and Sen. Raphael Warnock later led the entire Fulton County congressional delegation in a February 3 letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi demanding answers.

“After losing Georgia in 2020, Donald Trump demanded state officials 'find' votes to change the outcome, tried to use DOJ to overturn it, and spread conspiracy theories that led to the Jan. 6 sacking of the U.S. Capitol. I suspect today's raid is a continuation of this sore loser's crusade, despite repeated audits and independent reviews confirming that Donald Trump was indeed defeated.
“The FBI should be focused on going after violent criminals, not carrying out political errands for a vengeful President. Republicans and Democrats agree: the 2020 elections were accurate and secure.
