Pitts that he does not know where the boxes were taken or what the FBI plans to do with them.
He says that because those ballots are no longer in Fulton County’s possession, he cannot be sure they are still safe and secure.
“As long as they were here and in the control of Fulton County, I was confident that they were safe and secure,” he said. “I can no longer, as Chair of this Board, satisfy, not only the citizens of Atlanta, but the citizens of the world that those ballots are still secure. So that is a major concern that I have right now.”
Channel 2’s Richard Elliot has learned the agents could remove upwards of 700 boxes of election records from the facility.
