Overview
- Miles Taylor published an analysis Tuesday, August 11, 2026, saying the White House is preparing warrant filings to justify targeted seizures of ballots from states that refused to turn over voter rolls.
- Taylor cites the January 28 FBI raid in Fulton County, Georgia, where agents removed hundreds of boxes including a county copy of 2020 ballots, as a practical precedent for future warrants.
- The administration sued about 30 states and Washington, D.C., after demanding detailed voter‑roll data and lost in multiple courts, which Taylor says may have been intended to create a legal pretext rather than to prevail.
- Taylor named 13 high‑risk states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and urged officials to harden chain‑of‑custody procedures, pre‑draft emergency motions, and alert federal judges to scrutinize any ballot‑related warrants.
- If seizures occur, Taylor warns they could delay certification, fuel public doubt, and give congressional leaders a rationale to block or delay seating members between the November election and the January congressional swearing‑in.
