Fulton County, Georgia, is challenging the legality of a recent FBI search and seizure of election records tied to the 2020 elections. County officials are demanding the return of all confiscated files.

The FBI executed a search at an election facility as part of its investigation into claims by former President Donald Trump that widespread fraud led to his 2020 defeat. The raid is seen as part of broader efforts to utilize federal resources against Trump's political opponents.

County commissioners are pushing for a forensic review of the seized documents and request they remain in Georgia. Concerns linger about missing or destroyed files due to the disordered nature of the search.
