Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents executed a search warrant at Fulton County’s elections office in Georgia on Wednesday. We’re now getting a glimpse of what was targeted and what was seized in a search reportedly related to the 2020 presidential election.
The search warrant included a list of “particular things” that were to be seized during the raid. The document specifies that “all physical ballots from the 2020 general election,” ballot images, tabulator tapes, and “all voter rolls” are to be targeted.
The warrant, signed by federal magistrate judge Catherine Salinas, states that an affidavit from a special agent about “concealed” property on the premises of the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center “establishes probable cause to search or seize” the property.
It further states that the material “constitutes evidence of the commission of a criminal offense” and that it had allegedly been “used as the means of committing a criminal offense.”

Based on the warrant, agents rolled up to Fulton County’s election offices like it was Amazon Prime Day here in my household. Maybe it was Prime Day for democracy. Considering the county was pivotal in the 2020 presidential election, and, having been assured it was the “most secure” and “most audited” election in the history of history, you’d have thought officials would have happily escorted agents in to peruse the documents they were seeking.
Instead, Fulton County Commissioner Mo Ivory fretted that the search was “all wrong” and vowed to “figure out a legal plan” to counter the ongoing investigation. Why, pray tell, would you need a legal plan to counter what were no doubt boxes of legitimate election ballots and voter rolls? Hundreds of boxes, it turns out.
“They are now in there getting the documents,” she said in a video posted to social media. “Seven hundred boxes of 2020 ballots and accompanying things that go with it. You know, absentee ballots, all the things.”
“This is all wrong, so we’re trying to figure out a legal plan, and we should have one, whether that’s an injunction, whether a motion to quash, we’re trying to figure it out right now,” she continued. “Because this is an attack on our elections, meant to keep you from trying to go to the polls in November.”
“Once they have the ballots,” a concerned Ivory said, “how do we then turn around and do something different when they’ve already got their hands on it?”
Fulton County, Georgia, Commissioner, Mo Ivory, is freaking out because the FBI took 700 boxes of 2020 ballots.
Only cheaters and criminals act the way Ivory is acting.
If the ballots were legitimate then she’d be proud to share them.
Jail Ivory now!pic.twitter.com/U4yFHUVH6R

FBI Director Kash Patel, in an appearance on The Charlie Kirk Show earlier today, briefly discussed the search warrant but provided limited detail due to the active investigation.
“The FBI and DOJ presented this information to a judge in Georgia, where they determined — the judge — that there was a finding for probable cause following the constitutional precepts that are necessary to safeguard an investigation,” Patel said. “And what we did yesterday was we presented our facts and the findings of the investigation, and the judge determined there was probable cause.”
“And then you saw the results, we went and executed a search warrant, and collected the information pursuant to that search warrant to continue our investigation.”
“Yesterday was a big public-facing step, and you’re right, you saw trucks, you saw material being removed,” Patel added. “What the FBI will do is now analyze that information, and we will take the next investigatory steps with our Department of Justice partners.”
The warrant references potential violations under Title 52: one concerning the retention and preservation of records and papers by officers of elections, and another outlines criminal penalties for individuals, including election officials, who intimidate voters or knowingly procure false votes or false voter registrations.
Whether this warrant uncovers any smoking guns remains to be seen. Patel has made it clear that due process will be followed under his leadership.
