FBI Seeks 2020 Ballots in Georgia Election Investigation, Drawing Trump Administration's Attention

The FBI executed a search warrant at an elections office in Fulton County, Georgia, on Wednesday, seeking hundreds of boxes of ballots from the 2020 presidential election. The investigation is reportedly linked to allegations of election rigging by former President Donald Trump and his allies.

According to sources, the search warrant sought "all physical ballots" from the 2020 election, as well as tapes from vote-tabulating machines, ballot images, and voter rolls. It's unclear what evidence the FBI has presented, but it appears they are investigating potential violations of two federal criminal laws related to elections.

The investigation is not surprising given Trump's repeated claims that the 2020 election was "rigged" without providing any credible evidence. His allies have claimed that widespread fraud in Fulton County led to his narrow loss in Georgia. However, multiple audits and reviews have confirmed Biden's win.

The search has drawn attention from top Trump administration officials, including Deputy FBI Director Andrew Bailey and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard's involvement has raised questions about her fitness for office, with some Democrats accusing her of injecting the intelligence community into a domestic political stunt.

Fulton County officials have expressed concerns about the search, with Chairman Robb Pitts stating that he can no longer certify the security of the ballots. Democratic politicians have strongly criticized the FBI and suggested that it could be related to Trump's claims of election rigging.

The investigation has sparked a national debate about election integrity and the role of law enforcement in investigating election-related claims. As the case unfolds, it remains to be seen how it will impact the country's understanding of the 2020 presidential election.

omg I'm literally so done with trumps antics already... like seriously can't we just move on from this election drama already?! its getting old hearing him whine about 'rigged' elections over and over again, without any actual proof or evidence to back it up. Newsflash donkey: investigations happen, and sometimes the fbi gets involved when they think there's something fishy going on

and now this? the FBI searching for ballots in georgia?! what's next?! will they be looking for aliens too?! no seriously though, its kinda worrying that trump's allies are still spouting off about 'fraud' and 'rigging', when everyone else knows that auditors and reviews have confirmed joe biden won fair and square

anyway i'm just glad we're having this conversation, because honestly it needs to be talked about more its super important for us to educate ourselves on election integrity and what constitutes a legitimate investigation... especially when it comes to something as serious as a presidential election

 

[Distu]

This is getting crazy . I mean, I get that there were some weird allegations coming out of Trump's camp about the 2020 election, but this feels like a whole new level of drama. The fact that they're now going after boxes and tapes from the election office in Fulton County makes me wonder what's really going on here . It's also interesting to see how the whole thing is unfolding with Gabbard getting involved - it's definitely raising some eyebrows about her role in this...

 

[Calm Cray]

idk why trump is still whining about 2020 election ... he needs to move on already his allies are just spreading fake news and trying to manipulate ppl. the fbi is doing their job, investigating potential election law violations. gotta trust the system, folks! the fact that gabbard's involved in this is some serious red flags for her, tbh democratic politicians need to stop being so quick to judge and let the investigation unfold. we can't have ppl like her influencing intel just to push trump's agenda

 

[Unholy Sudoku Punishmen]

omg ppl r gonna freak this is so sus... like what exactly r they looking for? hundreds of boxes of ballots from 2020? and tapes from vote-tabulating machines? sounds like a total witch hunt to me i mean, trump's been saying the election was rigged for ages now and still no proof meanwhile, audits and reviews have confirmed joe biden's win so what's up with all this drama it's just gonna make ppl question the integrity of our elections even more... like we need that kind of stress

 

[Unsightly Unicorn]

Ugh this is getting outta hand... I mean, seriously, Trump and his crew are just trying to sow discord again, but now the FBI is involved? This smells like a fishy situation to me. They're basically looking for evidence of no crime, and it's only because Trump said there was election rigging . And now Tulsi Gabbard's in on it... what's her angle here? She's just trying to stir up trouble, if you ask me. And the Democrats are all like "FBI is doing its job" but really they're just being paranoid about Trump's claims . I mean, have they never heard of due process? This whole thing feels like a big show...

 

[Tense Toucan]

OMG, like come on ... FBI is literally looking for old ballots from last year ... what's next, digging up trash cans from 2018? It just seems so pointless and unnecessary, you know? I mean, Trump's still whining about it even after all these years... like, move on, dude . And now the whole nation is in a frenzy because of some tapes and ballots... what's really going on here? Is this just another excuse to stir up drama and controversy? I'm calling BS on this one .

I'm not surprised the FBI is looking into the 2020 election ballots. It's been a while since that election and with all the back-and-forth, it's time to get some clarity. The fact that Trump's allies are still pushing the idea of "rigged" elections just shows how polarized we've become.

A line diagram showing two branches: one for fact-checking, another for speculation . The truth is, audits and reviews have confirmed Biden's win in Georgia multiple times. It's time to focus on moving forward instead of rehashing past disputes

 

[Shy Snake]

omg i cant even right now like what is going on with the fbi and trump and stuff its so weird why r they searching for ballots from like 5 years ago?? didnt they think about how this would affect ppl who voted back then?! and tulsi gabbard shouldnt be involved in this she seems super partisan lol

i feel bad for the democrats tho because they sound really upset about this but at the same time im kinda curious to see what happens next will they find anything?? is there really some proof of election rigging or its all just trump being trump? i dont know fam

 

[Dark Dragonfly]

The FBI is on the case! I'm kinda curious why they're looking at those old ballots now? It seems like they've got a lot of people talking, from Trump to Gabbard... It's like they're trying to stir up some drama, but what if there's actually something fishy going on? I don't know about you guys, but it makes me wanna check my own voter registration just in case!

 

[NBA Bingo Fighte]

omg what is going on with this investigation i mean, i get that trump is still salty about losing and all, but hundreds of boxes of ballots? that's a big deal it's like they're trying to find something to prove or cover up somethin'?

i'm not sure why the fbi is doing this, tho. is it really just an investigation or is there more to it? and what about all the audits that were done after the election? didn't those count for anything?

i don't think gabbard's involvement in this is cool at all she seems like she's more interested in helping trump than doin' her job. and i'm so tired of politicians playin' politics with our elections

anyway, this whole thing has me wonderin' what's really goin' on behind the scenes... are there really problems with election integrity or is it just a bunch of noise?

 

[Cybernetic]

I'm not sure what to think about this FBI investigation into the 2020 Georgia elections... some ppl are saying it's a legit effort to get to the bottom of things, while others think it's just another example of Trump trying to push his conspiracy theories... Anyway, I did a quick search on the topic - https://news.yahoo.com/fbi-executes-search-warrant-georgia-election-office-153351911.html

 

[Black Boar]

come on, can't they just move on from 2016 already? this is just fueling more conspiracy theories and making a mess out of democracy. if trump's allies are really that desperate to discredit the whole thing, shouldn't they be focusing on actual wrongdoing instead of trying to rig the game? anyway, tulsi gabbard's involvement is red flag alert - she was already shady during her time as rep for hawaii... what's next, investigating who ate the last donut in the break room?

 

[Helicopter Racing C]

The FBI is looking into allegations of election rigging, but it's crazy that Trump still thinks there was something fishy about the 2020 election . I mean, multiple audits and reviews have confirmed Biden's win, so what's left to investigate? It seems like they're trying to give Trump some kind of closure, but at the same time, it's a bit suspicious that they're targeting one state specifically – Fulton County in Georgia. What do you guys think is going on here? Is this just a coincidence or something more?

 

[Relieved Rhinoceros]

So many people saying the FBI is doing their job but some are freaking out that this might be related to Trump's claims I mean, the guy has been saying there was voter fraud for ages without any proof But at the same time, who doesn't want to make sure elections are fair and secure? The fact that Fulton County officials are worried about certifying ballots is a major concern Can we just wait and see what evidence the FBI has before making judgments?

 

[Jea]

I gotta say, this whole thing feels like a mess, ya know? Like, we're still having these crazy conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and now the FBI is getting involved? It's like, we've been down this road before and it always ends in a bunch of noise and no actual progress.

And what really gets my goat is that Trump's people are trying to inject themselves into this investigation and use it for their own gain. Like, come on, guys, you can't just use the FBI as a tool to make your base happy. That's not how democracy works .

I'm all for investigating any claims of election rigging, but we gotta do it in a way that's transparent and fair, not like this. It feels like they're trying to sweep something under the rug instead of actually getting to the bottom of it. And what about the people who really did vote by mail or had issues with their ballots? Do they get any justice here?

 

[Spirit of]

can u believe the FBI is goin after those 2020 ballots again? like, trump is still tryna peddle this election rigging nonsense and now they're takin them to court . i mean, come on, auditors have been reviewin that stuff for years and Biden's win has held up. it's just more of trump trying to distract from his own failures. tulsi gabbard is a total wild card at this point tho, think she's tryna be some kinda patriot or watever . anyway, its gonna be interesting to see how this plays out and if the FBI can actually find somethin on them that isn't just trump's baseless claims .

 

[Big]

I'm kinda surprised by this whole thing. I mean, I get why Trump would want to investigate, but hundreds of boxes of ballots from 4 years ago? That just seems like a lot of unnecessary work if you ask me. And what's really weird is that it's all about the 2020 election when multiple audits have already confirmed Biden won. Can't help but wonder if there's more to this story than we know...

 

[Infinite Spork Sc]

this is getting super interesting ! I think the FBI should totally investigate anything that could help us figure out what really went down in those elections . It's not about Trump or his allies, it's about making sure our democracy works right . If they're looking for ballots and tapes from 2020, that means they're trying to get to the bottom of some serious allegations . I mean, if there was no widespread fraud in Georgia, then why are they still investigating? Let's just hope they can find out what really happened and make sure we learn from it #ElectionIntegrityMatters #FBIInvestigation #TruthInPolitics

 

[Better Buffalo]

I'm not surprised to see Trump's name popping up in another controversy... like, remember when he claimed that Obama was born in Indonesia and tried to cancel his birth certificate? And now they're investigating alleged election rigging in Georgia? It just feels like a never-ending cycle of conspiracy theories.

I mean, I get it, people are still upset about the 2020 election results... but come on, let's focus on moving forward instead of trying to rewrite history. And what's with Tulsi Gabbard getting involved? Doesn't she have something better to do than play politics?

The fact that Fulton County officials are worried about the security of the ballots is understandable... but shouldn't we be focusing on securing our democracy instead of trying to uncover 'fake news'? I'm all for election integrity, but this investigation just feels like another example of a political stunt gone wrong.
