The raid comes after the DOJ filed suit last month to obtain 2020 voting records.
The FBI executed a search warrant on Jan. 28 at a Fulton County elections office not far from Atlanta.
The FBI’s field office in Atlanta confirmed the raid.
“FBI Atlanta is executing a court-authorized law enforcement action at 5600 Campbellton Fairburn Road,” a spokesperson told The Epoch Times.
“Our investigation into this matter is ongoing, so there are no details that we can provide at the moment.”
The address referred to by the FBI is the Fulton County Elections Hub and Operations Center in Fairburn, Georgia.
President Donald Trump has long argued that election improprieties in the state contributed to his loss in Georgia in the 2020 presidential election.
Last month, the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed suit against the county, seeking voting records from the 2020 election.
Last week, when discussing the 2020 election, Trump said that “people will soon be prosecuted for what they did” but did not elaborate.
The case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis alleging that Trump and 18 others participated in an illegal scheme to overturn the 2020 election results was dismissed by a Georgia court in November 2025.
The DOJ’s suit, filed on Dec. 11, 2025, stems from a July resolution passed by the State Election Board of Georgia “calling upon the assistance of the Attorney General to effect compliance with voting transparency.”
Before that, in October 2025, the DOJ had requested “all used and void ballots, stubs of all ballots, signature envelopes, and corresponding envelope digital files from the 2020 General Election in Fulton County.”
County officials responded, saying the records were under seal and could not be produced without a court order.
The DOJ’s legal complaint filed in federal district court in Atlanta named Che Alexander, clerk of courts for Fulton County, as defendant.
The suit arose from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s investigation into the county’s compliance with federal election law, specifically the Help America Vote Act and the National Voter Registration Act, according to the complaint.
Both statutes require election officials to preserve records falling under Section 301 of Title III of the Civil Rights Act of 1960. That section requires officials to retain records related to voter registration “and other acts requisite to voting for any federal office” for 22 months after any federal general, special, or primary election, according to the complaint.
The DOJ sent a series of letters demanding the records, but as of the date the complaint was filed, the county had not complied, according to the complaint.
The DOJ stated in the complaint that failing to comply with the demand letters violates the Civil Rights Act of 1960. The department asked the federal district court to order Che to produce the records.
The Epoch Times reached out to the DOJ and Alexander’s office for comment. No replies were received by publication time.
