Judge denies request to force FBI to return seized 2020 Fulton County ballots

A federal judge on Wednesday denied a request from Fulton County officials to force the FBI to return hundreds of boxes of ballots from the 2020 election that were seized earlier this year.

"The seizure in this case was certainly not perfect," Judge J. P. Boulee wrote. "However ... petitioners did not establish that their rights were callously disregarded either through the lack of probable cause, omissions in the Affidavit or by the manner of the execution of the seizure."
