Fulton Co. Election Office Search Warrant Affidavits Made Public
On Feb. 10, the Justice Department filed redacted copies of two affidavits supporting the search warrant executed at the Fulton County election office. The public release of the documents followed Judge J.P. Boulee’s Feb. 7 order to unseal the case’s docket—which neither party opposed—“subject to the redaction of names of non-governmental witnesses.”
The Justice Department filed two affidavits perhaps in part because of an error in the election office’s address in the original warrant, according to a declaration by Nadine Williams, director of the Fulton County Department of Registration & Elections.
On Jan. 28, FBI agents executed a search warrant for the Fulton County election office in Georgia. According to the affidavit, the Justice Department sought all records “relating to violations of Title 52, United States Code, §§ 20701 and 20511,” including: “[a]ll physical ballots from the 2020 General Election in Fulton County”; “[a]ll tabulator tapes for every voting machine used in Fulton County”; “[a]ll ballot images produced during the original ballot count” and the recount; and “[a]ll voter rolls from the 2020 General Election in Fulton County from absentee, early voting, in person, and any other voter roll that indicates voters: to whom an absentee ballot was issued, from whom an absentee ballot was received, or who participated in advanced voting or election day voting.”
The affidavit signed by FBI Special Agent Hugh Raymond Evans claims that following the 2020 presidential election “there were many allegations of electoral impropriety relating to the voting process and ballot counting in Fulton County, Georgia,” and that “[s]ome of those allegations have been disproven while some of those allegations have been substantiated, including through admissions by Fulton County.”
It further states: “The FBI criminal investigation originated from a referral sent by Kurt Olsen, Presidentially appointed Director of Election Security and Integrity.”
