The FBI executed a warrant to seize records from the 2020 presidential vote in Fulton County, Georgia, marking an extraordinary event in American election history and an escalation in democratic norms. The warrant sought ballots, tabulator tapes, digital data and voter rolls, alleging they might constitute evidence of the commission of a criminal offense and citing stiff criminal penalties related to the procurement, casting, or tabulation of fraudulent ballots.
