Fulton County officials have filed a motion demanding the return of the 2020 election files taken during a FBI raid. The motion also wants the FBI search warrant unsealed.
Chairman Robb Pitts and the Fulton County commissioners held a news conference on the motion at 9:30 a.m.
“Because this case is still under seal, we are unable to share the motion at this time,” a county spokesperson said.

The FBI raided the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center in Union City on Jan. 27.
Channel 2 Action News was there as the FBI entered the building and hauled away hundreds of boxes of evidence, including every ballot from the 2020 presidential election.
The raid came as a huge surprise to Fulton County. Leaders told Channel 2’s Richard Elliot last week that they planned to take legal action to get those ballots back.
Pitts and elections supervisor Sherri Allen repeated their criticism of the raid - a raid conducted with a still-sealed criminal warrant.
