Fulton County

Fulton County, Georgia, a large county in a swing state that voted for Joe Biden in 2020, has become a focal point in ongoing investigations related to the 2020 presidential election. The county is seeking the return of 2020 ballots seized by the FBI in late January 2026. The FBI raid on the Fulton County election office was reportedly based on debunked claims from election deniers and a referral from a White House lawyer. The investigation is tied to a probe of possible 2020 election 'defects'. The events in Fulton County are significant because they are linked to former President Trump's continued claims of election fraud and efforts to overturn the 2020 results. The investigation and the involvement of federal agencies raise concerns about potential political interference in elections and the integrity of the electoral process. The situation is further complicated by shifting accounts from Trump regarding the presence of officials at the FBI raid.
