(The Center Square) – The FBI is executing a search warrant on the Fulton County, Ga., election headquarters in relation to alleged 2020 election fraud.
The FBI responded to a request for confirmation from The Center Square, but did not confirm if the raid is related to the investigation into the 2020 election.
"The FBI is conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity. No other information is available at this time," the FBI press office told The Center Square.
According to Democratic Georgia state Sen. Josh McLaurin, who is running for lieutenant governor and is at the scene, the FBI is interested in about 700 boxes of ballots from the 2020 election. He told The Center Square he got the information from speaking to Fulton County elections office personnel.
McLaurin said agents came from the main FBI office, not the local FBI office in Atlanta.
He blamed the raid on what he called President Donald Trump's "conspiracy theories."Â McLaurin said Trump is trying to "vindicate his agenda" and distract from recent violence in Minneapolis.
The county has been under scrutiny by Republicans and the Trump administration amid allegations of election fraud stemming from the 2020 presidential election.
At a December 2025 meeting of the Georgia State Election Board, it was revealed that poll workers did not properly sign tabulation tapes of more than 300,000 votes that were counted in the 2020 presidential election. Republicans called for a federal investigation.
It's unclear if the Wednesday raid is tied to the unsigned tabulation tapes.
This is a developing story.
