Matt BlazeIs the Fulton County election office search warrant online (preferably the affidavit, but I'll take the order itself)?
Searching on PACER, I can't find the docket.
Edit: it is; see thread.
A federal search warrant comes in two parts: the warrant itself, which authorizes the search and is signed by a judge/magistrate, and a supporting affidavit establishing probable cause that there is evidence of a specific crime to be seized (signed by an investigator). The latter is often sealed until arrests are made, but the warrant is generally unsealed at the time of execution. It identifies the items to be seized, and also the court, judge and docket number.
Also, unless it's a "no-knock" warrant (which the Fulton County was not), a copy goes to the people being searched at the time it's executed. So Fulton County surely has a copy.
