The #FederalGovernment can keep the #2020election ballots from #Georgia’s #FultonCounty that were seized by the #FBI from a warehouse near #Atlanta, a judge ruled Wednesday.
US District Judge JP Boulee’s decision came after lawyers for the county had argued that the #ballots & other #election materials, as well as any electronic copies the #DOJ has made, should be returned because the seizure was improper & #unconstitutional.

The federal government doesn't have to return the 2020 election ballots from Georgia’s Fulton County that were seized by the FBI from a warehouse near Atlanta. U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee issued the ruling Wednesday. Lawyers for the county had argued that the ballots and other election materials should be returned because the seizure was improper and unconstitutional. The Jan. 28 seizure by the FBI targeted the elections hub in Georgia’s most populous county, which is heavily Democratic and includes most of the city of Atlanta. Fulton County has been at the center of unfounded claims by President Donald Trump and his allies that widespread election fraud cost him the 2020 election.

"Petitioners hereby notify the Court that Respondent declined to supply any information or any answers in response to Petitioner's request or any subset [thereof]."
No one stonewalls like this unless they've got something to hide.

The "defects" cited by the FBI to obtain the affidavit for the raid were in fact nothing more than glaring misunderstandings of the process, minor inconsistencies, and normal human errors with no significant impact.
From #joycevance #fultoncounty #votingisaright Fulton County did not mince words in its amended response to the government’s motion to quash.
A motion to quash is an attempt to prevent a witness from testifying. Here, the federal government wants to keep the FBI agent who signed the affidavit that persuaded a federal magistrate judge that the government had probable cause to seize Fulton County’s ballots and other election records off the witness stand. Fulton County has requested the agent’s testimony at the hearing on its motion to return those records, a motion we discussed most recently earlier this week.🧵
