FBI’s Georgia File: A New Look at 2020 Records

The FBI has moved to examine whether Georgia officials may have purposely mishandled the 2020 election. They are asking a federal judge to allow them to take voting records from Fulton County, the state’s biggest county. The request was backed by claims that were once used to argue that Georgia had big election problems, but those claims have been shown to be false.In a recently released affidavit, the FBI explains that it wants to see if any mistakes made by state workers were accidental or deliberate. The judge agreed to the plan last month, and the documents have now been opened for public review. This step means the FBI will get a closer look at how votes were counted and recorded in 2020. The move has sparked debate about the balance between checking elections and respecting privacy.
