A top Fulton County, Georgia, official on Thursday blasted the Trump administration for the FBI's seizure of 2020 election ballots, saying the move is about "intimidation and distraction."
County officials said the FBI seized original 2020 voting records Wednesday while serving a search warrant at the county's Elections Hub and Operations Center. The FBI said they were conducting court-authorized activity at the facility, but said they would provide no further information.
The development comes after President Donald Trump has repeatedly made baseless claims that there was voter fraud in the 2020 election, specifically in Georgia, that contributed to his election loss. Georgia officials audited and certified the results following the election.
"Every audit, every recount, every court ruling has confirmed what we the people of Fulton County already knew: Our elections were fair and accurate and every legal vote was counted," Robb Pitts, the chairman of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, said at a press briefing Thursday.
