Federal Judge Affirms FBI's Seizure of Fulton County Ballots Amid Ongoing Investigation

U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee denied Fulton County's request to return hundreds of boxes of ballots seized by the FBI, stating the county failed to meet the legal threshold for intervention.
The judge noted the seizure was not without flaws but found no evidence of callous disregard for the county's rights.
This ruling allows the Justice Department to proceed with its investigation into alleged irregularities in Fulton County's handling of the 2020 election.
