A federal judge has slammed the door on a Democrat scheme to take back from the FBI control of hundreds of boxes of documentation about the 2020 presidential election.
Fulton County, Georgia, has been the focal point of a wide range of accusations involving an absence of election integrity in that critical vote that put Joe Biden in the White House between President Donald Trump’s two terms.
It was U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee who rejected the county’s demand to recover ballots and election documentation that the FBI seized earlier this year for its federal investigation into suspected election irregularities.
A report from the Washington Examiner explained the judge’s action ends a lawsuit brought by county officials over the FBI’s raid in January.
He said the government has broad authority to investigate the county’s election operations.
The judge ruled, “Importantly, the seizure at issue in this case did not interfere with the State’s ability to conduct the 2020 election or certify election results, nor have Petitioners shown that it will hinder the State’s ability to conduct future elections.”

The FBI carted off more than 600 boxes of records from that disputed election after getting a search warrant linked to a Department of Justice investigation into alleged irregularities in the election.
Among the charges coming out of the election were duplicate ballots, missing ballot images, unsigned tabulator tapes and more.
One section of the affidavit discussed a witness who identified duplicate ballots containing unique markings in both the original vote count and the recount, prompting concerns that there were duplicate or newly added ballots that may have been intentionally inserted to make the recount totals match the original count. Investigators ultimately found no intentionality.
