Georgia's Fulton County heads to court to argue for return of 2020 ballots seized by FBI

A federal judge will hear arguments on a demand by Georgia's Fulton County to return seized ballots and materials from the 2020 election. The FBI seized the materials from a warehouse near Atlanta in January. Fulton County officials claim the seizure was improper and unjustified. The Justice Department is investigating alleged irregularities during the election, including whether ballot images were properly retained and whether some ballots were scanned and counted multiple times. Fulton County officials argue that any deficiencies in their handling of the election were human errors and not intentional wrongdoing. The case is part of a larger controversy over the 2020 presidential election, with Democrats and election officials expressing concerns about the use of law enforcement to pursue personal grievances.
