Civil rights groups, including the NAACP and the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, filed a lawsuit on February 15 to protect voter data seized by the FBI from a Fulton County, Georgia elections office in late January. The suit aims to prevent the misuse of this information, which includes ballots and tabulator tapes. The FBI raid occurred following renewed efforts by Donald Trump to challenge the 2020 election results. The groups argue that the seizure infringes on voting and privacy rights, particularly in a county where Trump previously pressured officials to alter vote counts. The lawsuit was filed in the US district court for the northern district of Georgia.
