On January 28, 2026, FBI agents executed a court-authorized search warrant at the Fulton County Elections Hub and Operations Center in Union City, Georgia, spending nearly twelve hours removing boxes of 2020 ballots, tabulator tapes, digital ballot images and voter rolls as part of a federal probe into preservation of election records and alleged 2020 irregularities. County officials say an initial warrant was corrected before seizure and have raised chain-of-custody and transparency concerns. The action follows long-running challenges to Georgia’s 2020 results and a DOJ suit seeking access to the same materials, prompting partisan debate statewide and national political fallout.
