Fulton County asks court to stop DOJ subpoena of 2020 election workers’ personal information 05.05.2026

The Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections in Georgia filed a motion on Monday to quash a Department of Justice subpoena from April 20, seeking personal information of thousands of 2020 election workers. Board Chair Robb Pitts denounced it as "outrageous federal overreach," arguing the subpoena targets perceived political enemies of President Donald Trump, threatens First Amendment rights, and interferes with Georgia's election authority. This follows an FBI criminal investigation into Fulton County's 2020 election, including a January 28, 2026 search that seized materials based on debunked fraud theories. Trump, who lost Georgia where Biden won over 70% in Fulton County, falsely claims rigging and pressured officials to "find" votes. The motion highlights the subpoena was directed to a North Carolina prosecutor, not a grand jury, and cites Trump's November 2025 social media posts to demonstrate intent to intimidate poll workers. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who opposed Trump, is now in a gubernatorial race against a Trump-backed candidate.
