FBI Seizes 2020 Election Records From Fulton County Hub as Georgia Governor’s Race Heats Up

The move has turned the 2026 governor’s race into a referendum on Georgia’s 2020 election.

Overview

  • Agents executed a magistrate-approved search at Fulton County’s Union City elections facility to collect 2020 records, with the Justice Department and the FBI offering no public explanation.
  • A Fulton County elections official said agents removed about 700 boxes of ballots and other materials tied to the 2020 vote.
  • The Republican primary features Trump-endorsed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, an alternate elector in 2020, facing Brad Raffensperger and Chris Carr, who defended Georgia’s certified results.
  • Jones praised the search and attacked Raffensperger and Carr over election administration, while Democratic candidates and county officials criticized the raid as political theater.
  • Biden’s 2020 victory in Georgia was certified after reviews found no evidence of widespread fraud, and a Fulton County racketeering case related to the 2020 election was dismissed last year.
