"The FBI executed a search warrant at the election office in Fulton county, Georgia, on Wednesday for records related to the 2020 election, according to a spokesperson for the county and the FBI. The warrant sought all ballots from the 2020 election in Fulton county, tabulator tapes, ballot images and voter rolls, according to a warrant obtained by the Guardian. Fulton county commissioner Mo Ivory said that the initial warrant was incorrect legally and challenged on the scene by county officials."
"Democratic elected officials said they were concerned that the chain of custody of the material was not being fastidiously maintained in the seizure, even as the investigation of federal officials revolves around the fastidious maintenance of the chain of custody. I have also heard from Fulton officials that there is no protection for chain of custody, said state senator Josh McLaurin, a Democrat who is running for lieutenant governor. There is no assurance that chain of custody is being preserved."
